The Pembina Institute presented in front of the Standing Committee on Finance February 27, 2007 to make a case for eliminating the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA). The ACCA is an irresponsible use of taxpayer's money as the oil sands sector by all measures is mature and does not need taxpayer support.

Marlo Raynolds, presenting on behalf of the Pembina Institute at the Oil Sands Multi-stakeholder session in Edmonton, explains how oil sands operations can become carbon neutral by 2020.

Satellite images of oil sands mining operations easily illustrate the environmental consequences of oil sands development, deemed by the United Nations Environment Program to be one of the 100 global "hot spots" of environmental change. Dan Woynillowicz, representing the Pembina Institute, highlighted the need for the govenment to rein in the pace of oil sands development and ensure it has the systems in place to protect the environment at the public consultation meetings on oil sands development in Fort McMurray.

Most of Alberta's oil sands are too deep to mine. Oil must be extracted using other methods that result in a dense network of roads, wells and pipelines throughout the forests of Alberta. Deep oil sands extraction could potentially impact 21% of Alberta. Simon Dyer represented the Pembina Institute at a oil sands consultation meeting in Peace River where he outlined the impacts of and proposed solutions for deep oil sands development.
