PROMOTING INVESTMENT

Premier Texas-bound to spur energy investment

Nov 18, 2019 | 6:45 AM

EDMONTON- Premier Jason Kenney is heading to Texas this week (Nov. 18-21) to promote the province’s energy industry.

The government says Kenney will speak with investors and business leaders in Houston and Dallas to reaffirm Alberta’s position as a critical supplier of energy resources to Texas and North America.

“Our top goal is getting Alberta back to work. That means restoring investor confidence and reversing the flow of money, ideas and businesses from Alberta to places like Texas. That’s why I’m keeping my commitment to Albertans to take our ‘Open for Business’ message to some of the world’s biggest job creators. This trip will allow me to raise awareness among prospective investors about our growth strategy, including the Job Creation Tax Cut, Red Tape Reduction, and recent decisions like special production allowances to permit more Alberta energy to reach U.S. markets.”

Jason Kenney, Premier

Texas is Alberta’s second largest export market overall, and Alberta’s exports to Texas in 2018 totalled $11.5 billion worth of goods.
