Join us on May 27 to discuss what repercussions a weakened energy industry will have for the Canadian economy and how the government may re-shape Canada’s energy policy. Geopolitical tensions and a pandemic sent shockwaves through global markets, plunging crude prices to historic lows. Now with the industry that provides the largest share of our country’s revenue in free-fall, what will our government do, how will other resources play a role moving forward, and what will life after COVID-19 look like in the energy sector?

As public affairs professionals continue to navigate COVID-19, this panel will provide you with insights from experts on how the pandemic and economic crisis will shift our country’s energy landscape and impact your business - whether or not you work in or service clients in the sector.

If you have questions to submit in advance of the panel, please contact Alex Greco at Alex.Greco@cme-mec.ca.

We look forward to seeing you May 27.

Who is Public Affairs Association of Canada?

The Public Affairs Association of Canada (PAAC) is a national, not-for-profit organization founded in 1984. Our principal objective is to help public affairs professionals succeed in their work by providing them with forums for professional development, the exchange of new ideas and networking.

PAAC’s growing membership represents a cross-section of the many disciplines involved in public affairs including policy development, government relations, lobbying, communications, opinion research and public relations. Our members come from both the private and public sectors, in areas such as industrial and financial companies, crown corporations, consulting firms, small business, ministries and municipalities, PR organizations, trade associations, educational institutions, law and accounting firms.

Why Join PAAC?

The Public Affairs Association of Canada is the leading forum for representing lobbyists’ concerns to all levels of government in Canada. We actively engage lobbyist regulators in discussion about the rules and regulations governing lobbyist registration and reporting requirements in Canada. The PAAC has presented to various government committee’s on proposed changes to lobbying law at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. In addition, the PAAC hosts conferences, conducts media interviews and submits opinion editorials all in an effort to position lobbying as a key and valuable component of the public policy process.
