The development of Ontario’s oil and natural gas resources was the focal point of a keynote address at the 55rd Annual Ontario Petroleum Institute Conference and Trade Show held May 24-26, 2017 in Grand Bend, Ontario. Bob Delaney, the Parliamentary Assistant to the Ontario Minister of Energy had a positive message for delegates on how oil and natural gas fits into a low carbon clean energy economy. Mr. Delaney’s comments on the OPI’s submission to the 2017 Ontario Long-Term Energy Plan suggest Ontario’s interest in moving forward with the exploration and development of the province’s oil and natural gas resources. 2017 OPI Conference – Keynote Speech
