      Minister Nixon speaking now. In addition to the over $1 billion, the feds also brought in $750 million in loans for methane reduction. Large portion will go to Alberta. Nixon says the province is on the right track for emission reductions, fits with TIER program

      Questions now. How will this program work and how does this jive with the fact companies should be paying for their own cleanup? Savage says this is about fast job creation. Some reclamation will be fully paid, others will be half or 25 per cent. Based on company's ability to pay

      Can landowners not being paid by companies get some cash too? Also what is Mr. Rajotte's role in DC? Yes, some landowners can opt in to prioritize sites and get a bit extra help.

      On second question, Mr. Rajotte is filling a vacant position and will be the senior representative for Alberta. Primary interface with Congress and Administration. Main mandate will be to amplify discussion around that North American energy strategy.

      I ask about a transition to renewables, and if Alberta has spoken to anyone advocating to a Green New Deal. Kenney says this is "a pie in the sky ideological scheme." Does not believe transitioning will create jobs. Now he is criticizing me directly and questioning my credentials

          Kenney left abruptly after my question. Savage asked about wellsite liability. Process slowed down due to virus, and the focus is on jobs right now

          Savage expects the work to get underway very quickly, and thinks many companies will have contracts ready to go immediately.

          What about larger companies? Savage says they're looking for some more federal support on that, hopes for some more solid liquidity on that coming forward.

          Question about pausing consultation with indigenous groups on projects. Nixon says they do need to move forward with projects, but the consultations are changing a bit due to the virus. Says the government is working to figure out creative ways to get their perspectives.

          Last question relates to support for renters (not commercial). Nixon says they will have to defer to other ministries such as Service Alberta.

          I don’t mean to sound argumentative but your suggestion to transition is GROSSLY EXPENSIVE with more questions than answers. FFs are the only viable fuel at this point. Note: Nuclear possibly but other than that - what your wishing for doesn’t exists...yet.
