Energy Ministers from Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan signed an agreement in Calgary yesterday that will help expand and strengthen Canada's position as an energy powerhouse.

Arising from the New West Partnership created this spring, the Energy Memorandum of Understanding will combine and build on the existing strenths of all three provinces to expand the region's energy sector, attracting new investment, stimulating job creation and strengthening the region's economy.

The New West Partnership brings energy to market through responsible growth and development.
