  • Alberta, NWT Pledge Closer Ties on Transportation, Energy and Natural Resources
    Creating Opportunity February 13, 2009 Alberta, NWT pledge closer ties on transportation, energy and natural resources Yellowknife... Discussions on the present economic situation, its effects, and issues related to transportation, energy and natural resources were on the agenda for Alberta Minister of Finance and Enterprise Iris Evans and Northwest Territories Minister of Finance J. Michael Miltenberger, at a meeting in Yellowknife February 13. The Ministers met in their capacity as Co-Chairs of the Alberta - Northwest Territories Memorandum of Understanding for Co-operation and Development. They were joined by Northwest Territories Premier Floyd Roland, Northwest Territories Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment Bob McLeod and Alberta MLA Robin Campbell, chair of the Northern Alberta Development Council. “The goal of our discussions was to identify areas where we benefit from working together with our close neighbours and friends in Alberta,” Miltenberger said. The Co-Chairs received a Memorandum of Understanding being developed to facilitate the co-operation of their two governments in the protection and recovery of shared populations of boreal woodland Caribou. The Co-Chairs also discussed mutual transportation issues with a view to improving trade flows between the two jurisdictions, and were pleased to confirm that their governments are developing an agreement to further co-operate in the management and suppression of wildfires along the Northwest Territories/Alberta border. “This ongoing co-operation between our jurisdictions builds a solid foundation to move forward on issues that are important to the residents of the Northwest Territories and Alberta” said Miltenberger. “Considering our similar geology and geography, and the natural resource development capabilities in Alberta and the Northwest Territories, it makes sense that we work together to take action and develop the North in a way that is mutually beneficial,” Evans said.

  • Master of Science in Sustainable Management
    Master of Science in Sustainable Management “Pipe Dream” - A study of the Mackenzie Gas Project Aurora Dyrnes and Ragnhild Johnson FE306E-003 ”Pipe Dream” – A study of the Mackenzie Gas Project Master of Science in Sustainable Management “Pipe Dream” - A study of the Mackenzie Gas Project Bodø graduate School of Business Bodø University College Aurora Dyrnes and Ragnhild Johnson Bodø May 2010 I Bodø Graduate School of Business ”Pipe Dream” – A study of the Mackenzie Gas Project Sammendrag Denne masteroppgaven identifiserer hvordan interessentene i Mackenzie Gas Project har hatt innflytelse på hvor prosjektet er i dag. Samt at det fremligger en identifisering av sentrale temaer i forhold til involvering av interessenter. Basert på Freemans teori om interessenter har vi identifisert fire nøkkel parter i prosjektet; Industrien, The Aboriginal Pipeline Group, urbefolkning bosatt i området og de Canadiske myndighetene. Vi har analysert arenaene hvor disse partene møtes i dialog om prosjektet og dets implikasjoner for miljø, økonomi og samfunn. Et panel var satt opp for å analysere prosjektets implikasjoner, denne prosessen har vi analysert på bakgrunn i Jacobsen og Ingebrigtsens teori om ”comunicative arena” som gjenspeiler dette panelet. Den empiriske tilnærmingen er basert på intervjuer med de involverte partene i prosjektet samt offentlige rapporter og publiseringer om temaet. De empiriske funnene tilsier at prosjektet og dets prosesser har manglet struktur, budsjett og tidsbegrensninger. Det politiske systemet som regjerer i nord Canada har vi identifisert som komplisert og involverer for mange uavhengige beslutningstakere. Eksterne faktorer som Finanskrisen, introduksjon av skifer gass til markedet og innblanding fra internasjonale og nasjonale politisk uavhengige organisasjoner har ført til at prosjektet har blitt forsinket.
