The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) has released a seven-point plan that it says will help unleash the country’s energy potential.
CAPP’s energy platform outlines the steps it says the next federal government should take, including clearing roadblocks to building the infrastructure needed to bring Canadian energy to the world.
The association also suggests government “champion oil and natural gas as a critical part of Canada’s economic future,” and not to just build, but build with speed when it comes to new projects.
CAPP recommends government “tariff-proof” the economy by growing and diversifying market access for Canadian oil and gas.
“Canada’s energy sector is an engine of opportunity, providing jobs, economic growth, and reliable, affordable energy for families and businesses,” states CAPP. “But the global landscape is shifting rapidly. We’re facing geopolitical changes that will redefine energy security, trade, and competitiveness for decades to come.
“Canada cannot afford to stand still. The world’s demand for energy is rising, and our nation has the people, resources, and expertise to be a global leader in energy production. In an increasingly uncertain world, Canada must demonstrate that we are ready to compete, innovate, and lead.”
