[All] Canada already has a National Energy Strategy says Joe Oliver

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi everyone. This just came out on CBC news. It's incredible.
Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver says there is no need for the provinces to create a National Energy Strategy because Ottawa already has one.
Oliver said Tuesday he has spoken with Alberta Premier Alison Redford on a number of occasions about her plans for a NES. But he said as far as he could tell, Redford mentioned nothing in their conversations that his government wasn't already covering.
"[But] if you want to put a bow on it and call it a National Energy Strategy, go ahead," Oliver said at the closing news conference of the Energy and Mines Ministers' Conference in Charlottetown, P.E.I.
According to Oliver, Ottawa isn't giving it that label because "it's problematic in some areas of the country."
