Canada possesses abundant petroleum sufficient for decades to come. However, the provinces which legally own the resources have engaged in explosive and recurring debate with the federal government over ownership versus control. The traditionally conservative producing provinces press for supply-side energy policy, while the Liberal Administration opts for emphasis on controlling demand. A map illustrates that the West is the principal supplier to the East - where industry, commerce, and the federal electorate are concentrated. But as producers, the producing provinces have a negotiating power verging on that of the petroleum-exporting nations: they can set production levels. This issue is devoted mostly to a report by James R. Hart, resource analyst of the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission, who provides a producing province's viewpoint of Canadian energy policy. This issue gives tables showing the Energy Detente hydrocarbon price series for Western Hemisphere countries.
