WHEREAS resource activity such as mining, petroleum extraction, and wind harvesting are increasing; AND WHEREAS landowners and other tenure holders require information and assistance to deal with this additional activity within their tenure: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that a land surface office, independent of the resource-related ministries, be established by the Province to assist surface tenure holders to obtain information and understand the processes involved.
Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources While the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Ministry is looking for ways to enhance its public and community information programs, we do not agree that a land surface office, independent of the resource-related ministries, is necessary. The Ministry and the Oil and Gas Commission are responsible for providing accurate information on energy, mining and petroleum resource activities and regulations, and we have confidence in our ability to do so.
