Program Title: The rhetoric and reality of the anti-Alberta energy campaigns report
Description: Two years, four delays and $3.5 million later, the inquiry into alleged anti-Alberta energy campaigns found no evidence of wrongdoing.

The final report, released Thursday, also couldn't say exactly how much foreign money was used in advocating against the oil and gas industry, or what role that money played in the cancellation of energy projects.

Meanwhile, Premier Jason Kenney claims that anti-energy campaigns do contain misinformation that have harmed the energy sector, and Energy Minister Sonya Savage says such campaigns were a "pretty darn big cause" of delays and cancellations.

Today on Front Burner, CBC investigative reporter Jennie Russell walks us through what's in the inquiry's final report and how it differs from the province's rhetoric — past and present.
