Canada’s energy ministers have come up with a rough outline of what a pan-Canadian approach to energy will look like.
After their meetings in Alberta, they said it’s likely to take many more such gatherings for them to fully flesh out all the key details.
Alberta Energy Minister Ron Liepert says some may have thought the conference would end with a detailed policy for the next several decades.
He says trying to do too much at once is a recipe for failure.
Among their priorities is expanding the market reach of Canadian energy exports, and streamlining the regulatory system.
They also plan to boost energy efficiency, improve electrical grids and support Canadians’ awareness of energy issues.
Ministers for British Columbia and Ontario were not present at the meeting.
