The University of Calgary’s The School of Public Policy today released a paper authored by McInnes Cooper Counsel Wylie Spicer QC that examines the legal basis on which Canada could be on the hook for millions for a tax on Canada’s offshore oil and gas reserves under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The paper questions where the money will come from as well as possible solutions.
