Pipelines: Performance, Building Trust and Managing Our Reputation Brenda Kenny, President & Chief Executive Officer, The Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA) The ability to maintain and increase public trust is essential to growing the pipeline network and reaching new markets.

Independent Perspectives on Market Access Fay Cranmer, Deloitte Canada has a growing supply of oil and gas available for export, in large part due to increased oil sands production. At the same time, demand for oil and gas is falling in the US and mid-continent bottlenecks have resulted in large discounts being applied to Canadian crude. The question remains, how will Canada maximize the economic value of its energy resources? Deloitte will provide an independent viewpoint on this critical issue. |
