The OPI met with Bob Delaney, Parliamentary Assistant to the Ontario Minister of Energy, and Steen Hume Assistant Deputy Minister, Energy Supply Policy Division recently. The meeting was held as a follow-up to Mr. Delaney’s speech at the 2015 OPI Conference where he encouraged the industry to engage in a dialogue with the Ministry on Ontario’s long-term energy planning. In the meeting the OPI expressed its concerns on the lack of any new exploration activity and its desire to collaborate with the Ministry on a plan to address the situation.
