Abundant
Canada is an energy superpower, and we are building on that advantage. We have vast and diverse natural resources and offer multiple routes to reach global markets.
Canada’s mix of clean and conventional energy is distinct on the world’s stage. We have the resources needed to both support global energy security today and lay the foundation for the transition to a lower-carbon economy.
Canada’s federal government is working with provinces and territories, Indigenous Peoples, and industry to grow our energy sector. This includes launching the Major Projects Office (MPO), which serves as a single point of contact for major project proponents to streamline regulatory approvals and accelerate development of nation-building projects.

We are also streamlining and accelerating permitting and regulatory processes, so industry can spend less time on bureaucracy and more time on building.
We’re also positioning Canada for long‑term climate and energy competitiveness, focusing on investment‑driven solutions and leveraging our innovative clean technology sector, clean power advantage, and world‑class resources to support affordable, low-emissions growth.
