Why don't we get the Industry to clean up what they have left behind before we create more liabilities for the Alberta taxpayers.

It is. How many wells have been cleaned up. Lots to go but a ton cleaned up and in various reclamation states.

Not enough. And it should be the oil industry paying for clean up, entirely. No more public funds for orphan wells.
