What the changes say

  • 2026 capital spending fell to $120–160 million from $240–280 million, but funding still depends on oil and gas prices.
  • AECO gas averaged C$1.99 per mcf, below the C$3.00 assumption supporting 2026 operating cash-flow funding.
  • Carbon risk now covers output-based pricing systems, tradeable credits, and the liquidity and pricing of related markets.
  • Canada’s new greenwashing rules create disclosure and potential legal exposure for sustainability and forward-looking environmental claims.
