Low productivity and competitiveness weakens jobs outlook

Stubbornly high unemployment and weak labor productivity in NB poseserious threats to health, education and social programs
Structural demographic trends in NB raise important concerns about the
capacity of NB businesses to meet the competitiveness challenge on a globalstage (in particular, see Michael Haans Can New Brunswicks Population TimeBomb be Defused?).
Prosperity, employment and economic growth comes from reallocation ofresources towards higher value-added activities and highly productive businesses
The development of natural gas from shale industry can contribute to raiseproductivity, generate jobs and stimulate economic growth in NB if managedresponsibly and efficiently
Why should we care?

More seriously
Like it or not, growth in government revenues will come directly, or indirectly (e.g.
through equalization), from the development of energy and natural resources.

Is it has good as it is said to be?
Former Liberal premier Frank McKenna says developing the shale gas industry could generatemore than $7 billion in royalties and tax revenues for New Brunswick(emphasis added),bringing an end to the province's debt and deficit problems. cbc.ca (February 11, 2013)

Range of possible economic
impact is substantial Completion and production expenditures per well vary
greatly across plays, producers and within a production area
Various studies report direct economic impacts per well inthe $3M-$15M depending on shale experience,technology, number of fracs, pad density and architecture,scale, etc.
5-to-1 spread of direct economic impact is important
Cost per well are subject to substantial learning-by-doing,scale and scope economies ranging from 5%-40% How that will play out in NB is pretty much unknown at
the present time

18/24
Range of possible economic
impact is substantial (cont.) The variance in the evolution of the number of well ismost important across studies
Deloitte (2013) relies on a 8/25/55 new wells per year(low/medium/high) scenario
GNB (2012) relies on 100 new wells per year(conservative) scenario
The total number of wells depends on assumptionsregarding the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) for NB
Kennedy (2010) typical industry scenario is 200-250 wells required perTcf (i.e. 3000-3750 wells for 15 Tcf in NB or 100-125 new wells peryear over 30 years) or an EUR of 4-5 Bcf of natural gas per well.

Economic impacts in NB
can be large Deloitte (2013): Total economic impact of (medium) 25 new
wells per year
$310M in direct revenues per year
$110M in GDP per year 500 full-time jobs per year
Other studies, including ours co-authored with Pierre-MarcelDesjardins (to be released in the fall), will likely add to the range
ofpossible economic impacts.
Will need regular monitoring of all related activities to formulateprobable impacts -- requires some minimal level of activity.

Economic and Fiscal Impacts
Exclude the full cost of environmental and public health impacts
Exclude impact of policies that could address related concerns (e.g. carbon tax)
Exclude the benefits on the development oftechnological and human capitalopportunities
Legal and regulatory frameworks that are effective and efficient mitigate risks -- WILL NOTELIMINATE THEM!Cost-effectiveness analysis of laws and regulations take into accountimpacts on allsocial cost of activities (e.g. health and environment).
Important not to underestimate the legal incentives created by industrys voluntary codeof conduct (Industry Canada, 2012) and recent litigation trends in U.S. and Canada(Braul, 2012)
Need to resolve major governance, social and First Nations policy issues to securenecessary support and social acceptance ofevidence and facts.
... but thats not all folks !
