Ian:

Take a look at Pedro van Meurs column in today's Edmonton Journal. The good doctor has now decided to break from the government and the Panel and go solo with a justification for the bitumen tax. He has essentially showed his hand-- he wants to shut down virtually every new oil sand project in Alberta through is bitumen tax. I assume you will do a post critiquing the good doctor's bitumem tax.

Thank you for the shout out. I plan to write a few more installments.

In short, while I agree that the oil sands royalty needs updating to reflect current circumstances, the Panel performed a poor job. My installments highlight various aspects and I will wrap it up in a summary article in the next while.
