Parliamentary Committee: Standing Committee on Natural Resources

February 10, 2026

On February 10th, Eric Nuttall, Senior Portfolio Manager at Ninepoint Partners, appeared before a Parliamentary Committee to deliver a direct and data-driven message: the world is heading toward a supply challenge — and Canada has a critical role to play. 

In his testimony, Eric highlights:

  • Global oil demand is expected to grow through at least 2050
  • U.S. shale production has likely peaked
  • 75 of 79 non-OPEC countries are now in structural decline
  • OPEC spare capacity is limited 

Against that backdrop, Eric makes the case that Canada — home to the fourth-largest oil reserves globally — must recognize the economic and strategic opportunity in front of it.
