Edmonton - The Alberta Federation of Labour’s work has been driven by one crucial message:  Albertans are the owners of Alberta’s plentiful non-renewable resources and therefore deserve a fair royalty system that they can trust.

Attached you will find two reports which the AFL publicly released to Albertans today, as they consider the final report from the Royalty Review Panel:

1. Royalty policy is the biggest decision any Alberta government has to make
2. In-Province Refining: Updated Economics of a Greenfield Oil Sands Refinery & Petrochemical Plant in Alberta
