1 Canada s Energy Sector September, 2018

2 Context Key Points þ Canada has vast and diverse energy assets; not only does it have strong resources, but it boasts an advanced innovation system and robust energy efficiency standards. Through the ingenuity and hard work of Canadians, the energy sector provides a major source of economic activity. þ This has given rise to an industry which is the largest investor in Canada, and produces its number one export. It is a creator of jobs, an inventor of technology, and our competitive advantage on the world stage. þ The energy sector is an engine for inclusive growth. Energy companies are leading partners with Indigenous communities. Development also takes place in remote and rural communities and is central to their economic prosperity. þ A fully integrated North American energy system supports one of the largest trade relationships in the world, as well as continental energy security.

10 WHAT WE CAN KEEP DOING TOGETHER 1. Removing barriers to energy development by ensuring that there are no unnecessary tariffs on energy trade; 2. Building and strengthening energy security by ensuring affordable, reliable, and abundant access to energy supply; 3. Enabling the development of cross-border energy infrastructure by improving transparency, and streamlining administrative and permitting processes; 4. Enhancing cooperation on energy regulations to facilitate the flow of goods and workers across the border; and 5. Advancing clean energy and innovation through greater collaboration that will accelerate the development of these technologies.
