Ottawa contributing $1.7B to orphan well cleanup in west

Canada is sending billions of dollars in aid to the country’s bruised energy sector with a double focus of helping companies maintain environmental targets. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday morning Ottawa would be investing $1.7 billion in orphan and inactive well clean up in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and B.C. “Our goal is to create immediate jobs in these provinces while helping companies avoid bankruptcy and supporting our environmental targets,” Trudeau said.
