On November 17, 2025, ECC received the attached correspondence from Minister of Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, P.C.,M.P, which we share with our members.
In the letter, Minister Hodgson states,
“Canada is at a pivotal moment in history. In the face of global volatility, disrupted trade relationships, and a shifting geopolitical landscape, my mandate in advancing Canada’s energy superpower ambitions is to provide investment certainty within the sectors under my portfolio, work across government to reduce permitting timelines, and channel capital toward major projects.
…I share your view that Canadian oil and natural gas—produced to the highest environmental and labour standards—have strong potential to displace higher-emitting sources abroad, reduce global emissions, and strengthen energy security for Canada and its allies.”
ECC supports the Government of Canada’s aspirations of ensuring we can become a clean and conventional energy superpower. Canada’s pipeline industry is uniquely positioned to advance both aspirations. We look forward to working with policy-makers to make that happen.
