CALGARY - The new U.S. ambassador to Canada is in Alberta to learn more about oilsands.
David Jacobson is scheduled to talk Wednesday to industry experts and tour the oilsands region.
Jacobson, speaking during a stop in Calgary today, says he's already been told about the role the oilsands play in Alberta's economy.
He also says he understands the need to strike a balance between the economy and the environment.
He will provide a detailed report on oilsands production to officials in Washington.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who met earlier this month with Jacobson, said the two agreed to keep the lines of communication open on a range of issues, including the economy, border security and continental energy issues.
