Abstract:
Robert Marshall's responsibility and focus has been to provide technical and planning support to the GNWT in their efforts to promote and advance a future Mackenzie Valley Pipeline to connect Mackenzie Delta reserves with southern markets. He will talk about:
· A Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Project (MVPL) will provide substantial short and long term benefits to all stakeholders in Canada, particularly the NWT and Alberta.
· The long term benefits are significant as the MVPL will carry Canadian gas to southern markets.
· There is strong support for the project from the GNWT communities and the majority of Aboriginal groups.
· There is concern that if the Alaska Highway Pipeline precedes the MVPL, the Delta gas could be stranded for many years.
· There is a need for more support for the MVPL from the Federal Government and in particular Alberta industry and government which will benefit greatly from this project.
