Resource development and regulatory change in Alberta : where are we going? Lloyd, David A.

Abstract

Alberta's natural resources are used for a variety of purposes including petroleum and natural gas production, forestry and outdoor recreation. The Government of Alberta is firmly committed to ensuring that resource development takes place in a sustainable way and benefits all Albertans. Our regulatory framework is vital to the efficient and effective development of our province's natural resources and enables us to maintain and enhance our high level of environmental protection without hindering the investments that contribute to the prosperity of the province. Alberta's resource development regulatory regime is comprised of acts, regulations, policy, standards and operating guidelines. Together, they govern the roles and responsibilities of those who own, use or manage natural resources in Alberta.
