Program


Natural Gas Infrastructure and a Low Carbon Future

IGUA’s 2017 Spring Seminar occurs at a time when the restructuring of the natural gas infrastructure is partly complete and major additional changes are underway that could transform the energy and industrial landscape in Canada.  Climate change policy, Aboriginal rights and the changing role of energy regulation could have a significant impact on natural gas markets as could growing US protectionism and the potential unraveling of NAFTA. The keynote speakers will set the scene for the two panel discussions of the day that will examine the impact of the above changes.
