Pipelines, energy and natural resources

Are you referring to just federal policies? Because provincial uncertainty plays heavily in this as well, most of our biggest oil companies for example are involved with the calgary chamber of commerce. Majority of them see separation talk as not good and would pull out if it happens. Most are curtailing investment as a result. This is more damaging then any federal policy.

I have not seen anything in regards to talk of separation causing issues with investment. In fact it is a bit of the opposite.
What I keep hearing over and over again is uncertainty of what the carbon pricing program is going to cost along with other federal and provincial hoops one must jump through. The feds have caused to much uncertainty for investment on some large infrastructure and add in the Native/ environmental aspect it makes it to volatile for private investment in cross border/ international boarder projects.

Seeing what is going on in the Peace River area and north Eastern BC It makes one wonder.

Calgary Chamber of Commerce member survey and study

"19 per cent of member respondents report slowing business expansion plans within Alberta"
"A decline of investment from uncertainty on the scale seen after Brexit would mean $10 to $15 billion in foregone investment in 2026 — as much as $3,000 per Albertan."
