Overview & Introduction

PRESENTATION AND GROUP DISCUSSION – POWERPOINT PRESENTATION BY KARA WESTERLUND

• RMA report
• About $300 million dollars of unpaid taxes owed to the 69 Rural Municipalities of Alberta from oil & gas companies.
• Some companies are bankrupt and some are operating but not paying taxes
• Municipalities can take action to recover unpaid taxes from you but the oil and gas industry is subject to legislative loopholes that municipalities cannot take action on linear property
• 41% of unpaid taxes are owed by companies that continue to operate and choose not to pay taxes owed.
• Government could take actions to compel these companies to pay taxes but has chosen not to do so.
• Counties may have to raise your taxes so they can operate
• 80000 inactive wells in Alberta need reclamation.

WILL YOU BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR RECLAMATION??
