Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hodgson 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”.
