This paper outlines and discusses the development of Canadian federal government regulations governing the export of natural gas since the issue first arose in the province of Alberta in the late 1940s. The first section summarizes pertinent trends in the Canadian natural gas industry. This is followed by a presentation of Alberta’s policies, and then the Canadian federal policies are examined.
