We worked with DFAIT, the Government of Alberta and CAPP on an oil sands roundtable and outreach program for senior officials (including DM Doyle) in Washington, April 23-24, as per the report appended in the message below from WSHDC/Ken England. Some next steps are indicated in this report. 3. LCFS - NRCan has been extensively engaged in outreach with California through the letters and other ‘submissions (which were posted on the WSHDC web page), as well as meetings with Californian officials, including when DM Doyle visited California (report attached). ‘We have been engaged through an interdepartmental LCFS group with the posts that are reporting and engaging on LCFS developments in other jurisdictions (DFAIT would have an account of these). 4, The Clean Energy Dialogue does not currently include oil sands; as far as | am aware, they have not been part of these discussions Peter Peter Stokoe, pstokoe@NRCan.ge.ca, 613-996-8926, facsimile /telécopieur 613-995-5576 ‘Acting Chief, Bilateral Relations / Chef intérimaire, Relations bilaterales International Energy Division / Division intemationale (énergie) Petroleum Resources Branch / Direction des ressources pétroliéres Energy Sector / Secteur de I' energie Natural Resources Canada, 580 Booth Street, 1985.2, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0E4 Ressources naturelles Canada, 580 rue Booth, 19B5-2, Ottawa (Ontario) K1A 0&4 Government of Canada !

Discussions during the half- day roundtable session examined oil sands in the United States context and how best to address the increasingly negative portrayal of Canada's industry, both in political circles and in the public arena, through the use of coordinated Canadian engagement. 8.15(1) The group also agreed on the need for tailoring our oil sands message accordingly, with an emphasis on environmental and regulatory measures. 2. Next steps: at the conclusion of the session, participants commited to the following: « To strike a steering committee to direct work on creating a common fact base and communications materials for US-based oil sands engagement that could be shared by AB and the GoC (including the NRCaniAlberta deck, oil sands fact sheet and NRCan's oil sands issue papers) « to refine the existing deck and to seek better economic data linking Canadian energy to the US economy to support our engagement efforts « to complete this work by June 1, in advance of CAPP's executive board meetings in Washington. ‘© to commit to greater information sharing on ongoing oil sands engagement activities. 3. A separate outcall program included meetings with the Center for American Progress (CAP), the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the American Petroleum Institute (API) and with Senate Energy Committee member offices (note: CAPP did not take part in the NRDC luncheon or House meetings). These all provided good opportunities for presenting the facts on oil sands and for gaining insight into US policy developments from a range of US voices. REPORT. 4, OIL SANDS ROUNDTABLE: This April 23 session brought together: WSHDC/DHOM St-Jacques (host)/Kevin ‘O'Shea/Roy Norton/Sally Southey/Jason Tolland/Ken England, NRCan/DM Cassie Doyle and ADM Sue Kirby, ‘ADM Mike Ekelund and Gary Mar from Alberta; David Collyer (President), Greg Stringham (VP) and Tom Huffaker (VP) from CAPP: BOSTN (PERPA/Neal Bumham), DENVR (CG Eisler), DALAS (CG Pettis), CNGNY (CG Sullivan) and SFRAN (PERPA/Nadia Scipio del Campo); DFAIT-GGC/Aaron Annable and NRCaniClaude Gauvin. Missions were chosen on the basis of key markets, but there will De future engagement ofall missions in the United States, drawing on their experience advocating on Canadian energy matters in their regions. 5, Sarah Ladislaw, Energy and National Security Fellow at the Center for Strategic and Intemational Studies (CSIS), opened the roundtable discussion by speaking to CSIS' Jan. 2009 report, A Roadmap for a Secure, Low- Carbon Energy Economy (see attached), which was developed jointy with the World Resources Institute. Ladislaw explained that, in setting out its recommendations for a re-tooled US energy policy, CSIS and WRI strove hard to strike a balance between the "three spheres’ of energy security, climate change and economic security. The report argues that current energy consumption pattems are unsustainable given climate change concerns, increasing market volatility and geopolitical dynamics around fossil fuels. It proposes a new framework for approaching US energy policy that would: 1) “establish a vision for the future” that would integrate energy security and climate change priorities into all aspects of domestic and international policymaking, 2) "put the US energy system on the right path’ by, among other measures, placing a price on carbon and encouraging the development and deployment of clean energy technologies, and, 3) "managing the transition” by supporting domestic conventional oil and gas production during the transition to low-carbon fuels. 6.

NRCan/Alberta/CAPP Oil Sands Overview: this was an opportunity for each party to exchange views on respective communications products currently being developed and to work towards some common oil sands messaging. According to DM Doyle, we need to meet an active, organized anti-oil sands campaign with equal sophistication. This effort should be supported by three main pillars: 1) a set of commonly-agreed facts to serve as a frame of reference; 2) a common set of messages, and 3) a commitment to @ coordinated engagement strategy. NRCan’s approach has been to push two main messages: i) that Canada’s oil sands are a strategic resource for the continent and, i) Canada recognizes the industry has environmental issues and we are working hard to address them. 8. CAPPICollyer suggested that we needed to step back and ask ourselves five fundamental questions: ‘These should guide how we address issues around oil sands in the United States. Collyer agreed that alignment on messaging was key as we cannot be seen to be misrepresenting our data given that we are held to @ much higher standard than the ENGO community. CAPP also believes that technology needs to be promoted more heavily and has begun to place greater emphasis in its communications too's on a few emerging technologies which offer potential for addressing some of the industry's environmental issues. CAPP also pointed to a number of new studies that may support our engagement efforts, including: a CERI product focussing on the oil sands industry's economic impact in Canada and the US, some new life-cycle emission analysis by the Alberta Energy Research Institute (AERI). and a comprehensive oil sands study being developed by the Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA). CAPP also noted that their revised oil sands outlook would show a flatter production curve than originally forecasted 9, WORKING LUNCH: Consulate representatives were given an opportunity to offer oll sands perspectives from the regions: 8.15(1) 2011-05-26 001063Page 4 of 6 8.15(1) 10. There was consensus at the conclusion of the roundtable thet, while the session had been constructive, it was a first step only and that more discussion was needed, Participations therefore agreed to form a Steering Committee to ensure follow-up and ongoing coordination. Committee members were identified as: NRCan/Kirby, Alberta/Ekelund or designate, CAPP/Stringham, WSHDC/Tolland ‘There was agreement that the committee should work towards amving at a common facts base for ali communications products (NRCan/Alberta deck, oil sands fact sheet and NRCan's oil sands issue papers) by June 1, in advance of CAPP's executive board meetings in Washington. 411. WORKING DINNER: an Embassy dinner, hosted by WWSDHCIO'Shea, was an opportunity to bring together remaining roundtable participants for a discussion on carbon capture and sequestration technology in the context of the oll sands industry. 12, OUTREACH PROGRAM: the aftemoon of Apr. 23 and morning of Apr. 24 were devoted to outreach calls for NRCan, Alberta and CAPP. Highlights of incividual meetings follow: 13, Centre for American Progress (CAP) - the group met briefly with Daniel Weiss, Senior Fellow and Director of Climate Policy and with Jake Caldwell, Program Director for Agriculture, Trade and Energy. 44, American Petroleum Institute (API) - this meeting, which included Jack Gerard (President & CEO), Jim Ford (VP Govt Affairs), Bob Greco (Downstream Group Director), Doug Morris (Upstream Group Director), and Cindy Schild (Refining Manager, 415, Hill calls: Meetings with the offices of Sen, Tim Johnson (D-SD), Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Ml) and Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) were generally brief and mainly served as an opportunity for briefing senior staffers on Canada's oll sands industry (with emphasis on environmental and regulatory measures) and on the Canada-US Clean Energy Dialogue 2011-05-26Page 5 of 6 is crucial for the larger energy picture as a way to responsibly develop this abundant resource 48.
