Canadian Taxpayers Federation:  What Canada's energy sector can do to increase public approval for major resource development projects.

Speaker: Colin Craig, Canadian Taxpayers Federation

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has been an influential advocacy organization in Canada for nearly 30 years. Alberta Director Colin Craig will discuss his organization's tactics, victories and share his thoughts on what Canada's energy sector could do to increase public approval (and government license) for major resource development projects. 

Colin has an MBA and BA (economics) from the University of Manitoba and previously served as the CTF’s Prairie Director (MB/SK) in Winnipeg (2008 to 2015).

During that time he successfully convinced the federal government to pass the First Nations Financial Transparency Act and helped the organization achieve policy victories at the municipal and provincial level.

Since 2017, Colin has worked for the CTF in Alberta. He is the author of The Government Wears Prada (a book that explores how governments can prepare for our nation’s aging population) and lives with his wife in Calgary.
