FROM THE EDITOR:

Dear Readers,

Welcome to the January 5th enewsletter for REM, and a new year. There was interesting news out of the oil sands late last month with the approval of Petrochina's transaction with Athabasca Oil Sands – read Industry Minister Clement's statement here. Understandably, China's oil demand continues to grow, which should drive more interest in Canada's resources.

As always, we welcome your feedback on what you read here. You can contact me at rcolman@clbmedia.ca.

Regards,

Rob Colman
