Irving Oil Urges Energy Commission To Consider Changes Carefully

Irving Oil making a presentation to the New Brunswick Energy Commission as they hold their final public input session on creating a 10 year energy plan for the province.

While not mentioning any specifics, Irving Oil spokesperson Kevin Scott says any future changes to policy or regulations should be considered carefully.

He says while Irving Oil may seem like a large company by local or provincial standards but, he says they are a small company next to the companies they compete against.

Scott offers one example being Valero Energy in Texas which has 14 refineries compared to Irving Oil's 1.   They say action that would increase their operating costs or slow down their ability to respond to market conditions will make them less competitive.
