With King Charles III set to deliver the Carney government\u2019s first Speech from the Throne beginning at 11 AM Tuesday, the rumour mill in Ottawa was warping between anxiety and optimism, as early signals about fast-tracking major \u201cnation-building\u201d projects stoked fears that climate impacts, environmental protection, and Indigenous consent might be shunted aside.<\/p>\n

Newly-appointed Energy Minister Tim Hodgson set the tone for the discussion Friday, in what CBC\u00a0described<\/a>\u00a0as a \u201cboisterous speech\u201d to a sold-out business audience in Calgary. \u201cEnergy is power,\u201d Hodgson told participants. \u201cEnergy is Canada\u2019s power. It gives us an opportunity to build the strongest economy in the G7, guide the world in the right direction, and be strong when we show up at a negotiation table.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pledged a two-year approval period for major projects, rather than five, declaring that \u201cI want to be very clear. In the new economy we are building, Canada will no longer be defined by delay. We will be defined by delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hodgson said Canada \u201cwill remain a reliable global supplier of oil and gas for decades to come,\u201d the Globe and Mail\u00a0writes<\/a>, but appeared to emphasize overseas markets that are pivoting swiftly away from fossil fuels. \u201cThe real challenge is not whether we produce, but whether we can get the best products to market before someone else does,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s high time to trade more with people who share our values\u2014not just our border.\u201d<\/p>\n

But while the Globe says industry executives \u201chave given Mr. Carney\u2019s government a laundry list of ways to attract energy capital and boost energy security, from scrapping a cap on emissions to streamlining project reviews,\u201d CBC reports that Hodgson \u201cdid not make any announcements or signal any changes in government policy beyond what the Liberals had pledged during the campaign.\u201d That included pressing the oil sands industry to get moving on the Pathways Alliance project, a $16.5-billion carbon capture hub in northern Alberta that has been stalled while the industry tries to arm-twist more generous subsidies out of the federal government.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us, governments and industry, need to get the Pathways project done,\u201d Hodgson said. \u201cThis government will not be a government of talk, but a government of action. We need the same from the province of Alberta and the Pathways Alliance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to demonstrate to our customers outside the U.S., and to our fellow Canadians, that we are a responsible industry,\u201d he\u00a0added<\/a>. \u201cAnd this government believes Pathways is critical to that reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recent independent analyses have indicated that Pathways\u00a0won\u2019t likely break even<\/a>\u00a0without \u201csubstantial efficiency improvements\u201d and better revenue prospects and would likely be \u201cscuppered<\/a>\u201d without permanent subsidies. In October 2023, the Regina-based International CCS Knowledge Centre\u00a0admitted<\/a>\u00a0the technology won\u2019t be ready to scale up by 2035.<\/p>\n

Hodgson previously served on the board of MEG Energy, one of the six companies that make up the Alliance and account for about 95% of Canada\u2019s oil sands production.<\/p>\n

Streamlined Approvals<\/h2>\n

Some of the concern anticipating deregulatory promises in the Throne Speech traces back to advance briefings the government has provided for key stakeholders, and to a May 26 Globe and Mail opinion piece that\u00a0put forward<\/a>\u00a0several \u201csimple fixes\u201d to speed up approvals. It suggested reducing \u201cregulatory duplication\u201d for pipelines over 75 kilometres in length and for critical mineral and metal mines, in each case by limiting the reach of the federal\u00a0Impact Assessment Act<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth changes could be made easily and immediately by a simple Cabinet order (amending the regulations under the\u00a0Impact Assessment Act<\/em>),\u201d wrote Deloitte Canada national infrastructure leader Jordan Eizenga, Aecon Group Executive VP Tim Murphy, and Ian Anderson, former CEO of Crown-owned Trans Mountain Corporation. \u201cThey are not complicated, and they do not require changes to legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among other possible candidates for federal streamlining, \u201ca pipeline operator should not need to undergo another impact assessment to add a compressor station on an existing pipeline. And a railway company should be able to add infrastructure adjacent to its mainline without need for further environmental review,\u201d the three authors wrote. As well, \u201cthe federal government must designate particular types of projects as being in the national interest where appropriate\u2014fast tracking approval times and reducing budgets.\u201d<\/p>\n

That kind of talk raises concern about downgrading the IAA and elevating other regulatory measures that weren\u2019t designed and aren\u2019t implemented with environmental protection in mind.<\/p>\n

Vittoria Bellissimo, president and CEO of the Canadian Renewable Energy Association, said she was pleased to hear Hodgson commit to delivery rather than delay, a major projects office to speed up federal regulatory reviews, and interconnections through a pan-Canadian electricity grid.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext steps for Canada\u2019s clean energy industry is to identify projects. The priority will be on nation-building projects, built by the private sector with involvement from Indigenous communities, and on quick wins,\u201d Bellissimo\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0on LinkedIn. \u201cLet\u2019s do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Yukon News identified another nation-building project in the making,\u00a0reporting<\/a>\u00a0that British Columbia and the Yukon are working on a new transmission line that will connect the territory to the North American grid.<\/p>\n

And Philippe Dunsky, president of Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors, pointed out that the effort now under way to dismantle the U.S.\u00a0Inflation Reduction Act\u00a0<\/em>could\u00a0reduce the country\u2019s capital flows<\/a>\u00a0to clean power by up to US$1 trillion over the next decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeantime, Canada has been worried about its ability to attract sufficient capital for its clean energy transition needs, including approximately $1 trillion over the coming 25 years to finance new wind, solar, transmission and distribution, nuclear, and other projects. A big part of the concern had been the attractiveness of the IRA,\u201d Dunsky\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrisis, meet Opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in a release Monday, Nature Canada stressed that nature must be at the centre of federal decision-making.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne Project, One Review by federal, provincial, and Indigenous governments is an important policy objective that can be achieved without reopening the federal\u00a0Impact Assessment Act<\/em>,\u201d said Executive Director Emily McMillan. \u201cBut the federal government cannot abandon reviews of large development projects with environmental effects in federal authority or give carte blanche to provinces to carry out those reviews.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omission or Open Door?<\/h2>\n

Similar worries began rippling through the community last Wednesday, after Prime Minister Mark Carney released a\u00a0single, concise mandate letter<\/a>\u00a0to all his Cabinet ministers that listed seven government priorities\u2014including a new economic and security relationship with the United States, a single, strong Canadian economy, lower costs, and more affordable housing\u2014all of which intersect with climate change, but none of which mentioned it.<\/p>\n

During the federal election campaign just ended, \u201cthe fact that Mark Carney has previously said that climate change was an existential threat demanding meaningful action gave us confidence we were picking a nicer guy with a steady, predictable hand on the wheel\u2014plus, critically, for many of us, a climate plan,\u201d\u00a0wrote<\/a>\u00a0Delta Management CEO and Canada\u2019s Clean50 founder Gavin Pitchford. \u201cExcept now, there\u2019s literally no climate plan or clean economy focus listed anywhere in his top seven priorities, as pushed out in the mandate letter to his new ministers this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

On LinkedIn, Pitchford\u00a0added<\/a>\u00a0that diversifying the economy \u201cmeans diverse products as well as diverse export destinations. The only thing more volatile than Donald Trump is the market for oil and gas. So why on Earth would we double down on pipelines?\u201d Particularly when the global cleantech market is on track to triple in the next decade, he said, while oil and gas \u201cis expected to greatly decrease over the next 15 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Clean Energy Canada Executive Director Rachel Doran responded to the mandate letter by\u00a0pointing<\/a>\u00a0to the \u201cabundant and realizable opportunities in the clean economy\u201d that governments can tap into.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe federal government\u2019s current focus on building the economy and improving affordability offers clear opportunities and building blocks for a cleaner Canada,\u201d she said in a release. \u201cAll of Canada\u2019s 10 largest non-U.S. trade partners have net-zero commitments and carbon pricing systems, while roughly half of them apply carbon border adjustments on imports and have domestic [electric vehicle] requirements reshaping their car markets. Investing in our supply chains, while growing and leveraging our clean electricity, will be key to building a more globally competitive, and hence resilient, economy\u2014one more able to stand on its own even next to an occasionally unfriendly giant.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
