November 2014 November Luncheon Michele Perret, Enbridge Join us November 20 to gain valuable insight into the highly debated Northern Gateway Pipeline. As outlined in the www.gatewayfacts.ca website the challenge we face is that "Canada's most valuable resource is crude oil, with 99% of all our oil exports going to the United States at discounted prices." Enbridge has proposed a solution that will assist with the growth and diversity of market opportunities for one of our most valuable resources: "The $6.5 billion Northern Gateway Pipeline will provide access to new markets in the Pacific Rim. More than that, the pipeline will be a model of world-class safety and environmental standards." PJVA welcomes Michele Perret, Director of Public and Aboriginal Engagement, Northern Gateway at Enbridge to discuss her role, challenges and successes so far in the development for the Northern Gateway Pipeline. She joined Enbridge in 1991 in the Regulatory Affairs department at Enbridge Pipelines Inc. where her responsibilities included developing pricing mechanisms for the transportation of crude petroleum in Canada and the United States, coordinating applications to the National Energy Board and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, working on acquisitions, and negotiating short and long term agreements with industry. In 2005, Michele joined the Public and Government Affairs department and in 2007 was provided the opportunity to develop the Community Relations department at Enbridge. Prior to joining Enbridge, Michele worked for General Motors of Canada in Oshawa, Ontario. |
