    Whereas, the actions of the Government led by former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau through the National Energy Program led to an intentional systematic assault on Alberta's ability to operate as an equal partner in the Canadian Federation, and further that those actions had a detrimental economic and societal impact on Alberta and its population that persist today.

    1. Have the current Prime Minister of Canada apologize for the actions of Former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau and his Governments destructive the National Energy Program;
    2. Affirm the rights of provinces to develop, manage, and market their natural resources.
