Looks like the final numbers could be somewhat better than is in the report

We'll listen to oilpatch, Stelmach says

BANFF - Premier Ed Stelmach hinted today there might be room to move on the controversial recommendations in a major royalty report, saying industry will have a chance to meet with key ministers to discuss concerns.

The new study found Albertans are not getting their "fair share" from oil and gas development in the province, recommending changes to the royalty and tax system that would boost the government's take by $2 billion annually.

After addressing a blue-chip business crowd in Banff, Stelmach suggested that while the six-member panel did their calculations for the study, the government will also take time to crunch the numbers.
