Atlantic Outlook 2008 - A Changing Climate: The Energy Sector's Quest for Sustainability in a New Economic Environment [Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, APEC]

In November 2007, the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council held its 13th annual Business Outlook conference. This conference is held annually in four cities across Atlantic Canada, bringing together leaders from business, government and academia to examine the region’s major economic issues. At this year’s event, we chose to turn a critical eye to the twin issues of climate change and the development of the region’s energy sector. This report highlights the major themes of the Outlook 2008 conference and summarizes the speeches made by the participants including Kenneth Irving, CEO of Irving Oil Ltd. and Ed Martin, President & CEO, NL Hydro.
