In a bid to expedite energy infrastructure development in Canada, Liberal Leader Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre have both pledged to streamline the review process for major national energy projects. Carney announced his intention to sign agreements with provinces and Indigenous governments to recognize local energy project assessments, aiming to make Canada an “energy superpower” with a focus on both conventional and clean energy sources. Poilievre also proposed a single application and environmental review process for energy projects. These moves are part of broader strategies by both leaders to reduce Canada’s reliance on the United States for energy exports and tackle the challenges posed by U.S. tariffs.
