EDMONTON (CP) – Controversy over a possible conflict of interest appears to have been staunched on a panel reviewing royalty rates on Alberta’s oilsands producers.
Panel member Sam Spanglet was accused by opposition politicians of conflict of interest because he was a retired Shell executive but still had millions of dollars in stock options in the oil giant.
But Finance Minister Lyle Oberg told the legislature Monday that Spanglet has sold all of his options.
The government had defended Spanglet’s appointment even with the stock options, saying his industry expertise makes him invaluable.
The opposition Liberals said a recent letter by the head of Shell Canada defending the current royalty regime made having an ex-Shell member on the panel even more problematic.
The government has been under pressure to ensure taxpayers are getting a fair share of lucrative oilsands profits.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
