1 Pan-Canadian Energy Initiative 22/02/11

2 A national six-year collaborative event exploring Canada s energy production, distribution and consumption. 2 2

3 Raison d être Canada is one of the world largest producer and consumer of energy Canadians expect a continuous supply of affordable energy, but also expect a balance between energy production and use and the environment 3

4 Themes New technologies Energy production and consumption Behaviour, lifestyle & energy 4

5 Why Energy? Economic impact of energy sector: 6.8% of GDP, - $84.2 billion, in crude oil and natural gas (48%) electric power,(31%) pipelines, (6%) In 2008, new capital investments in energy-related industries represented 23.3% of total Canadian investment and an additional 6.5% of GDP. Export: In 2008, energy accounted for 26.6% of total merchandise exports. Jobs: 2008 direct employment jobs 1.9% of total employment in Canada 5

6 The Importance of Energy Literacy Canadians want to know more about the energy we produce, distribute, and use. This national multi-year program will explore Canada s energy production and consumption, and the implications of greening the energy network as Canada positions itself as the world s foremost clean energy superpower. The Honourable Christian Paradis Minister of Natural Resources Launch of Pan-Canadian Energy Literacy Program at the World Energy Congress Montreal September 15, 2010 All Canadians are invited to explore the relationship between energy, the Canadian economy, and the environment, Through this initiative, citizens will be better informed about Canadian leadership in science and technology and how it is shaping the sustainable future of our energy sector. The Honourable Gary Goodyear, Minister of State (Science and Technology) 6

7 The Need for Energy Literacy Importance: 90% of Canadians feel Canada should be a global leader in energy Lack of awareness: 88% don t know Canada ranks 2 nd in oil reserves Only 65% feel somewhat informed Disengagement: Half of Canadians believe they cannot affect energy policy 7
