Canada's Atlantic offshore oil and natural gas industry is in crisis, notes Charlene Johnson, CEO of Noia, Newfoundland and Labrador's oil and gas industry association. Low oil prices and pandemic shutdowns have created struggles including delays and cancellations of major projects, lost job opportunities and reduced exploration.

Johnson and Energy Examined host Leighton Klassen discuss the state of the industry, its profound economic importance to the region, and what can be done to ensure offshore oil and gas is a strong part of Canada's economic recovery.
