Introducing what he called "a framework for a new century," Stelmach said oil and gas companies will be paying $1.4 billion more a year in royalties starting in 2009.; ~* t& B- l. U) W- y

That figure is 25 per cent less than the $2 billion recommended by a government-appointed panel that reviewed the royalty formula, which had not changed since 1992.. ~9 I4 R/ o4 {' D3 a

Stelmach rejected about half of the panel's recommendations, including a new tax on oilsands production.

However, royalties will increase for conventional oil, natural gas and oilsands projects, with Stelmach promising a simpler framework that reflects fluctuations in market prices.+ ]- n! f4 a& t/ M6 g

"We recognize energy is a volatile industry. There is risk and there is reward. So when oil prices go up, the royalty goes up," Stelmach said in a news conference in Calgary.
