Building on Strengths: Canada's Energy Policy Framework

The Report to the World Energy Congress - MONTREAL 2010 from the Energy Council of Canada's 2009/2010 Energy Forums

The Energy Council of Canada held a series of Canadian Energy Forums across Canada leading up to Canada hosting the World Energy Congress ‐ MONTRÉAL 2010 in September 2010. These Energy Forums were primarily strategic and policy oriented, and they were visionary, constructive and pragmatic in terms of addressing the many challenges currently being faced by the energy industry in global and national contexts. These Forums provided a “bottom up” approach to assessing and analyzing ‐ perhaps for the first time – an overall energy “picture” of Canada recognizing the Canadian Federation, while defining similarities, differences and synergies among our diverse provinces and territories.
