The Oil Sands Multi-stakeholder Committee (MSC) has been formed
to lead a public consultation on the development of Alberta’s
oil sands, and is based on recommendations from the MLA-led Oil
Sands Consultation Advisory Group.
The MSC includes a Panel, which is a specific subcommittee put in
place to conduct public consultation, including information sharing
sessions in different locations, bringing the information back to
the MSC and to seeking consensus on issues referred to it by the
MSC. Where consensus cannot be reached the differing views will
be recorded and presented to the MSC.
The initial step is to conduct a consultation with the
public. The MSC will use the collected information to develop recommendations
for a vision for oil sands development and principles to assist
in guiding future policy directions.
Additional information will
be added on an ongoing basis. Last Updated November 21, 2006.
