"If CPP starts bailing out of energy resources, we don't want to be in a position where our money is being used to support solar and wind or other experiments that the CPP — driven politically by a Trudeau government — might want to invest in. So I think this is going to be the bigger conversation over the next year or two."
Perhaps the most important one, in Tombe's view, is the amount of assets the Canada Pension Plan provides to a potential Alberta pension plan.
