Canada\u2019s recent federal election was regularly dubbed one of the\u00a0most consequential of the last 50 years<\/a>. Economic and sovereignty threats from United States President Donald Trump were key issues in the campaign. In response, pledges about energy infrastructure and resource development played an important role in party platforms.<\/p>\n

We have been studying impact assessments, the uneven consequences of resource development and sustainable energy transitions for over 15 years. We\u2019re concerned about what and who may be overlooked as the government moves to become \u201can energy superpower,\u201d in part by getting projects \u201cdone faster and better.\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also interested in how the newly elected Liberal government can support more\u00a0just energy transitions<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 that is, moving toward low carbon energy and economies that prioritize equity for workers and communities.<\/p>\n

Challenges with Liberal promises<\/h2>\n

The Liberal Party platform<\/a>\u00a0includes renewed attention to an east-west energy corridor. It also promises to speed up and streamline the review of major resource projects and \u201cget big projects built quickly\u201d by \u201cshifting the focus of project review from \u2018why\u2019 to \u2018how.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The platform also promises more support for Indigenous participation in major projects and commits to using\u00a0Gender-Based Analysis Plus<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 or GBA Plus \u2014 in policies and programs. GBA Plus is a method for assessing how diverse groups of people experience policies, programs and initiatives.<\/p>\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Through our research, we have advocated strongly for applying GBA Plus in the resource sector, including by\u00a0centring community knowledge in impact assessments<\/a>\u00a0and proposing strategies for improving how\u00a0Indigenous women\u2019s experiences and knowledge are considered in impact assessments<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the last year, we also produced \u2014 along with our colleague\u00a0Deborah Stienstra<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 two major research reports for the\u00a0Impact Assessment Agency of Canada<\/a>. Both were on the application of GBA Plus in regional assessments for offshore wind in\u00a0Nova Scotia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Newfoundland and Labrador<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Regional assessments are a planning tool used before specific projects are proposed. They help identify important issues to consider if specific project assessments \u2014 for instance, for critical mineral mines, offshore wind projects or other resource developments \u2014 are conducted. If done well, regional assessments can help with more equitable and efficient project planning and development in the long run.<\/p>\n

What do the findings from our work in this area suggest in terms of how the Liberal government should proceed with its energy vision?<\/p>\n

Duty to consult<\/h2>\n

The 2019\u00a0Impact Assessment Act<\/a>\u00a0requires meaningful execution of the duty to consult with Indigenous people affected by a major economic development.<\/p>\n

The Liberal Party made important promises to\u00a0advance Indigenous participation in major projects and to double capacity support so more Indigenous communities can take an active role in project decisions at various stages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But what the Liberal platform overlooks is Indigenous Peoples\u2019 right to resist and refuse developments in their territories, or how specifically to ensure that Indigenous women and gender-diverse people are meaningfully engaged.<\/p>\n

Moving forward, the Liberals must meet their constitutional duty to consult with Indigenous Peoples, while being guided by the United Nations\u2019 principle of free, prior and informed consent per\u00a0legislation that confirms Canada\u2019s commitment to the UN\u2019s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GBA Plus<\/h2>\n

During the campaign, the Liberal Party reiterated its support for GBA Plus by listing it as one of six key themes\u00a0in its Make Canada Strong vision<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Liberals seemingly recognize that GBA Plus is an important tool for advancing equity for women, gender-diverse people, people with disabilities and racialized people by:<\/p>\n

\u201cIdentifying direct and indirect benefits of programs (e.g. job opportunities, access to programs and services) \u2026 and considering how these benefits will be distributed across diverse groups.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Liberal platform does not explicitly raise GBA Plus in relation to becoming an \u201cenergy superpower.\u201d But GBA Plus has been gaining attention in the resource sector \u2014 particularly in relation to the development of specific projects \u2014 since the requirement to consider \u201cthe intersection of sex and gender with other identity factors\u201d was included in the 2019 Impact Assessment Act.<\/p>\n

GBA Plus needs to be applied in project-specific assessments (for specific developments, such as mines and hydroelectric dams) and in planning assessments (like regional assessments).<\/p>\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In our work on the regional assessments for offshore wind in\u00a0Nova Scotia<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Newfoundland and Labrador<\/a>, we demonstrate the value of applying GBA Plus throughout all impact assessment processes.<\/p>\n

Doing so helps strengthen community engagement efforts, identify potential effects early, determine the data sources required for monitoring those effects, fill data gaps and highlight barriers that prevent diverse groups of people from benefiting from energy projects.<\/p>\n

For example, without adequate child-care options, many women cannot access the high-paying jobs that sometimes accompany resource projects. The Liberal government\u2019s support for GBA Plus must therefore be explicitly incorporated into its energy proposals.<\/p>\n

What and who is lost with fast tracking<\/h2>\n

A just energy transition is one concerned not only with planetary survival, but also with the effects of the transition on people who will be most affected.<\/p>\n

The Liberal party\u2019s vision for becoming an energy superpower includes \u201cconventional energy resources\u201d (like oil) as well as clean and renewable energy (like solar and hydro) and critical minerals needed to support decarbonization and energy transitions.<\/p>\n

We disagree with the Liberal Party\u2019s commitment to \u201cshifting the focus of project review from \u2018why\u2019 to \u2018how.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

We need to ask how \u2014 and even whether \u2014 an energy project contributes to a just transition. Answering questions about whether projects will meet climate commitments and help advance equity for workers and communities is critical. These questions are best asked early, during planning phases and as part of regional assessments, before specific projects are proposed.<\/p>\n

The duty to consult, GBA Plus and just energy transitions are interconnected and necessary commitments for sustainable energy production.<\/p>\n

Together, they can contribute to a relationship with Indigenous Peoples that recognizes their sovereignty and to a more equitable and sustainable future. But these commitments cannot be meaningfully realized when fast-tracking development, because they require time and relationship-building.<\/p>\n

Prioritizing fast-tracking \u2014 thereby falling short on these priorities and legal commitments \u2014 will backfire. It will lead to delays rather than more efficient processes, and will worsen existing inequities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
