Alberta was producing a ton of oil prior to its price collapse. Do you think this incentive plan is a good thing or bad thing? And how would you expect it to affect companies with interest in the tar sands?

My prediction is that large foreign oil companies will be pulling out of the tar sands as fast as they showed up if the oil price stays low for an extended period. Canadian companies would likely receive a subsidy from the government to keep operating. If the price of oil collapses to the point that the tar sands is forced to shut down all production, then I would say the resource should be nationalized by the federal gov. for the sake of the evironment, and the establishment of a Canadian energy security policy.
