The new federal government has taken positive first steps in building energy infrastructure, Bernstein says, and now needs to cancel regulatory policies that overlap with carbon pricing, such as the oil and gas cap and Clean Electricity Regulations.

When it comes to Canadian energy and climate policy, "there’s a huge opportunity right now," says CP CEO Michael Bernstein. "It’s going to require cooperation and creativity from both the Alberta and federal governments.”

(3/3) A streamlined approvals process for major projects, combined with strengthened carbon markets, can deliver billions of dollars worth of low-carbon investment. Watch for a new vision paper coming soon from us that shows how reforms to Canada's carbon markets can drive investment.

(2/3) If the federal government uses the Building Canada Act judiciously, while honouring commitments to Indigenous rights and environmental protections, then the bill could be the tool we need to streamline the federal regulatory approvals process and get Canada building.

(1/3) Clean Prosperity believes that bill C-5 will be a valuable tool to help Canada build out the economy of the future. Canada needs new tools to turn the new spirit of federal-provincial cooperation into reality, and to accelerate the build-out of decarbonized energy infrastructure across Canada.

"Strong industrial carbon pricing eliminates the need for duplicate policies such as the oil and gas emissions cap, which has created friction between Alberta and the federal government," Bernstein wrote.

Federal and provincial governments should build on newfound spirit of co-operation to strengthen our 🇨🇦 industrial carbon pricing system, says Clean Prosperity CEO Michael Bernstein.

"That will unleash not just Pathways but a wave of other low-carbon projects."

"We need provincial and federal governments to put more skin in the game to convince industry that big investments in decarbonization will be economical in the long term," Bernstein says.
