"Energy wealth will accelerate Alberta’s already nation leading economy pulling living standards, population growth, incomes, labour markets, industrial performance and government tax flexibility far ahead of the rest of the country over the next decade!

Already Alberta’s situation has resulted in a low tax climate, superior government finances, a well educated and young work force, an increasingly diversified industrial base and strong personal growth.

Alberta should continue to offer the best job prospects in the nation and the largest increase in incomes!”
