- MPconI have posted on my website (www.brianjean.ca) a form for residents of Fort McMurray-Athabasca to nominate an individual for a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. This is an opportunity for people in Northern Alberta to nominate someone who has made significant contributions in our communities. I invite you to consider nominating a worthy local resident for the prestigious medal. To be eligible for this honour, a person must: • Be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, but need not necessarily reside in Canada; • Have made a significant contribution to a particular province, territory, region or community within Canada, or an achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada; and • Be alive on February 6th, 2012, the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty’s accession to the Throne.

- MPconThis week, Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver announced the Harper Government’s plan for Responsible Resource Development, which will streamline the review process for major economic projects. In the next 10 years, more than 500 new projects representing over $500 billion in new investments will be proposed for Canada. The potential for job growth is enormous. Responsible Resource Development will streamline the review process for major economic projects by providing predictable timelines for project approvals. It will prevent long delays that kill potential jobs and stall economic growth by putting valuable investment at risk. Most importantly, Responsible Resource Development will create good, skilled, well-paying jobs in cities and communities across Canada, while maintaining the highest possible standards for protecting the environment. The proposed changes will streamline Canada’s review system while ensuring the environment is protected by: • Making reviews for major projects more predictable and timely; • Reducing duplication and regulatory burden; • Strengthening environmental protection; and • Enhancing consultations with Aboriginal peoples.Apr 20, 2012 10:09 am | Alberta, Fort McMurray—Athabasca
