TABLED DOCUMENT 194-17(5): PUBLICATION (ELSEVIER LTD.) EXAMINATION OF OIL RESOURCE UTILIZATION

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have four documents to table today. The first is a letter from Alternatives North to Minister Ramsay and calls to our broader representation or in-depth representation on the Mineral Advisory Board, and a similar letter from Ecology North. The first is dated 4th of February and the second is dated 6th of February.

I’d also like to table, and according to my commitments to the Premier, the science behind the new knowledge that we need to leave most of our fossil fuels in the ground. The first is in Nature, published on the 8th of January 2015, entitled “The geographical distribution of fossil fuels unused when limiting global warming to 2 degrees C,” wherein it says though we show that development of resources in the Arctic and any increase in unconventional oil production are incommensurate with efforts to limit average global warming to 2 degrees C.

The second one is the Energy Policy…(inaudible)…Journal, No. 64, published in 2014 and entitled “Un-burnable oil: An examination of oil resource utilisation in a decarbonised energy system.” Mahsi.
