The following Resolution, prepared by an ad hoc POGG
Resolution Committee, was sent by President Rod Packwood on October 9, 2013
to the Hon. John Baird, Minster for Foreign Affairs and International
Trade:
RESOLUTION re
PROPOSED SALE OF CANADIAN NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCE
Whereas,
the Government of
Canada is currently reviewing the Chinese National Offshore Oil Company
(CNOOC) bid to buy outright Calgary-based energy producer NEXEN, and
Whereas,
the Ottawa- based
public policy group, POGG (Peace Order and Good Government) consider this
transaction to be a foreign government takeover of a politically sensitive
non-renewable national resource, and
Whereas,
investments in
Canada by foreign consortia and companies are intent on maximizing
shareholder return while conforming to Canadian laws, CNOOC exists to
implement the political and economic objectives of the Chinese government;
economic and societal benefits to Canada and its citizens will be
subservient to their objectives, and
Whereas,
the NEXEN takeover
by CNOOC will set a precedent with unknown negative consequences with
respect to:
a. future takeovers of
Canadian natural resource and other nationally strategic companies by
sovereign foreign entities and
b. Canadian
sovereignty and security inherent in these companies
It is resolved that,
POGG expresses to
the Canadian Government its deep concern with respect to the CNOOC takeover
of NEXEN and requests that it not be allowed to proceed before a thorough
review of ALL Canada's Foreign Investment Policy has been completed and
publicly promulgated.
