Sub-program 1.1.3

Energy Market Regulation and Information

Description

Canada realizes many advantages as a result of robust energy markets and strong trade in energy resources. Ensuring these benefits continue to contribute to the broader economy requires regular assessment, analysis and monitoring of Canadian energy resources, including infrastructure and regulations. This Sub-program aims to foster a competitive Canadian energy sector by working with provinces and territories, and internationally, to articulate Canada's approach to the management of energy resources. To achieve this goal, this Sub-program assesses and updates (when necessary) federal energy regulations and policies (e.g., offshore oil and gas, pipelines, nuclear), engages domestically and internationally on energy issues, and provides Canadians with information on energy markets.
