Alberta Premier to speak in Washington

May 12, 2022 | 5:11 PM

Premier Jason Kenney is heading to Washington, D.C. on May 17th.

Kenney will address the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources about Alberta’s role in strengthening North American energy security.

Premier Kenney will also promote Alberta’s approach to responsible resource development with practical emissions-reducing technology.

In a statement, Kenney says “Alberta is the clear choice to help meet the rising worldwide demand for stable energy and displace energy exports from violent and oppressive countries that threaten global security. We must work closely with our U.S. partners to establish a united front on energy security and that means increasing Alberta’s energy exports to the United States and the world.”

The committee appearance comes at the bipartisan invitation of committee chair Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia and ranking member Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming.

Senator Manchin visited Alberta in April to learn about Alberta’s energy sector and emerging minerals sector and to discuss North American energy security. During his visit, the senator proposed that an Alberta delegation visit Washington to continue discussions.

The hearing will be broadcast on the Premier’s social media channel as well as on the Committee’s website. An archived video will be available shortly after the hearing
