It uses the figure of 18,000 jobs that could be created in Alberta by upgrading and value-added processing of our resources.That, by no coincidence, is the same figure which CEP, our union, gave to the National Energy Board in 2006 when we opposed Keystone I. We put forward information by Informetrica that if that product were upgraded and refined in Canada, it would amount to 18,000 jobs.
Ce n'est pas par hasard que ce chiffre correspond au chiffre que le SCEP, notre syndicat, a fourni à l'Office national de l'énergie en 2006, lorsque nous nous sommes opposés au projet Keystone I. Nous avions alors fourni l'information d'Informetrica, selon qui la valorisation et le raffinage de ce produit au Canada permettraient de créer 18 000 emplois.
