Up in Fumes? The Outlook for Natural Gas in Western Canada

Webinar with Ian Archer, Hal Kvisle, and the Honourable Dale Nally

However, the industry faces ongoing questions about its future – particularly as surging U.S. production competes in key markets. The C.D. Howe Institute invites you take part in our expert panel discussion on the future prospects for Canada’s natural gas resources. 

 

C.D. Howe Institute events and webinars are open to members and their guests.
