This campaign will educate Canadians about the valuable contributions we make every day while producing oil and gas to some of the highest environmental and ethical standards.\"\n\nHe added, \"These contributions and our industry as a whole have been challenged by the drop in oil prices. To stay competitive, Questerre, like many other companies, has lowered costs by reducing staffing and our planned investment. This is in part because of the significant discount we receive for our products with the lack of access to international markets. This campaign will also focus on the support we need to build the pipelines necessary for market access.\"\n\nHe further added, \"Our experience on social license to operate in Quebec has taught us that development must balance social, economic and environmental considerations. We believe this campaign will help facilitate this important national discussion.\"\n\nOil Respect is about standing up for hardworking oil families and businesses who are struggling. It is about respecting the facts, workers and the contributions this industry provides to Canadians.\n\nOil Respect will fight against the misinformation spread by foreign celebrities, radical environmentalists and grandstanding politicians at a time when tens of thousands of people are without work and without hope for an immediate recovery.
