Country will also invest in renewables and its grid Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hodgson (pictured) has pledged to make Canada a true conventional and clean energy superpower. He said the new Canadian government would identify and fast-track Projects of National Interest with decisions coming in two years for all projects. This will be through a Major Federal Projects Office, offering a single window for permits, bringing together what used to be scattered across departments. Hodgson said: It’s about making One Project, One Review real. Less red tape, more certainty, better outcomes. He added that the country must also invest in promising, scalable energy sources like hydrogen, geothermal, advanced biofuels, renewables and nuclear. Hodgson said: These are not speculative bets — they are scalable, exportable solutions with rising global demand that will diversify and strengthen our economy. He added: I believe our future depends on integrated electricity grids. Our new government will quickly work with provinces and territories on east–west transmission and better integrate our systems. This is part of what the Prime Minister means when he says one economy, not thirteen. A pan-Canadian grid means more reliable, affordable, sustainable power for Canadians. It means powering industries from AI to manufacturing. And it means exporting energy between provinces who want Canadian solutions. |
