Q: Hi team ,
What’s your take on the oil sector in Canada currently? Currently oil prices, sentiment is low for various known reasons. However , in this cycle would you consider the sector near bottom yet? And any potential catalysts on the horizon? With potential of new government possibly coming in by year end (conservatives ) , and a hopefully new wake up call for all of Canadian politicians and policy makers hopefully leaning towards a more self sustainable country and development of our resources and pipelines; would you consider this a opportune time to buy a quality oil stock? In specific I was looking at Wcp after its recent added drop after its acquisition. I am looking at a 8.7% dividend with possible upside potential if sentiment recovers . Would you buy this name today considering I have almost 0 sector exposure currently ? If not; a better name from today’s levels suggested?

Thanks ,
Shane
