The future of energy in Canada

Energy matters a great deal to Canadians – it is a source of pride and of controversy, of debate and opportunity.  Ultimately, energy matters because we are dependent upon it in almost every aspect of how we live, work and interact within our nation.

The Energy Framework Initiative (EFI) outlines the key elements of an integrated energy policy framework in a Canadian context, grounded in the fundamental principles of sustainable development, and conceived with a view to building a stronger Canada for this and future generations.

EFI proposes that an energy framework is needed to think about energy and to approach energy policy. It is not an official energy policy or an energy strategy. The goal of the EFI is to stimulate dialogue and actions leading to a viable and sustainable energy future for Canadians.
