The Energy and Natural Resources Committee proposed a session in conjunction with the Tax Law and International Construction Projects Committees entitled “Key Aspects of Pipeline Development”.

The keynote address will be given by the Honorable Jean Charest, Partner with McCarthy Tetrault in Montreal and former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada and Premier of Quebec.
 
Two round-tables will follow with an array of international speakers who will be responding to a mock case study on the development and then construction of an international pipeline.
