Joint Energy Plan: British Columbia Premier Christy Clark

British Columbia Premier Christy Clark: Clark and Redford are scheduled to publicly discuss the progress of the joint energy plan on Nov. 5 in Vancouver following the Alberta premier's address to the city's Board of Trade. A final report is due on Dec. 31, according to Huffington Post. Clark had insisted the project must meet a series of conditions, including strict environmental standards and assurances that B.C. would receive a "fair share" the economic benefits, to win her approval, which prompted Redford to suggest Clark was attempting to pick Alberta's pockets with demands for extra royalties and VICTORIA - British Columbia Premier Christy Clark and Alberta's Alison Redford have appointed a team of senior bureaucrats to develop an energy export plan, barely a year after a high-profile disagreement over the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline strained the two leaders' relationship. The premiers are attempting to move past their very public clash over the Northern Gateway pipeline, which was the subject of a meeting in Calgary last October that Clark later described as "frosty."
