The Government of Alberta has ordered and approved rules for curtailment of the production of crude oil and crude bitumen in Alberta. See Curtailment Rules, Alta. Reg. 214/2018. These rules took effect in January 2019. Following an announcement by Premier Rachel Notley on December 2, 2018, Order in Council 375/2018 was issued on December 3, 2018. Amendments were made on December 12 and 31, 2018, and January 30, 2019, by Orders in Council 434/2018, 438/2018, and 034/2019.
