Plamondon, interviewed by host Anne-Marie Mediwake, highlighted the impact of uncertainty creates potential opportunities in diversifying trade routes, particularly through the West Coast, which could help move Alberta’s value-added energy products to global markets.

The conversation between Plamondon and Mediwake also touched on the broader economic influence of Alberta’s oil and gas industry, with Plamondon emphasizing the significant number of jobs supported, both directly and indirectly, by the sector.
