An annual report filed by Alberta’s energy “war room,” otherwise known as the Canadian Energy Centre, allocated $22 million in the last fiscal year for advertising and a media campaign to promote the province’s oil and gas industry.

According to the annual report, filed at the end of August, part of the budget included a Request for Proposal for an Agency of Record to undertake ad campaigns.
