Andrewl, is there a system in place in Alberta where a certain amount of the revenue is set aside as a reserve fund?
For instance when it comes to Alaska's oil wealth, a very forward thinking governor set aside %25 of oil income away from the general fund and into a permanent fund. This is a tried and true, but often overlooked idea when it comes to large scale resource development.
It has paid considerable wealth to all Alaskan for the last 20 odd years.
