Opinion: PM Carney wants Canada to be an energy superpower - here's how he can prove it
Article content Prime Minister Mark Carney says he wants Canada to become an energy superpower. That's the right goal, and now that he's in charge, it's time to back up his lofty words with real action – here's how he can prove it. Article content Article content Canadian liquefied natural gas (LNG) is one of the most significant opportunities for Canada to grow its economy and create good, mortgage-paying jobs for Canadians. Several projects are awaiting final approval: Phase 2 of the LNG Canada project, Ksi Lisims LNG, and Woodfibre are just some examples. Getting these projects approved and built quickly would show authentic leadership. Article content Article content Article content Pipelines are key to moving natural gas and oil safely across Canada, but the Liberal Party's 2025 election platform doesn't even mention them. Canada has some of the world's largest natural gas and oil reserves. Without this enabling infrastructure, our reserves are just another wasted Canadian opportunity, and our aspiration of becoming an energy superpower is just another political platitude. Article content Prime Minister Carney has said he supports the energy sector. Still, he remains frustratingly unclear about whether he considers pipelines one of his 'nation-building projects'. Carney said he is looking for an international consensus on pipelines. Minister Guilbeault recently threw cold water on the idea of any new projects. Getting consensus from the provinces will be hard if he cannot even find it within his cabinet. This is the kind of uncertainty that makes investors nervous. The prime minister must give a clear message: Canada supports responsible natural gas and oil development. Article content Article content Scrap the cap Article content The proposed cap on Canada's natural gas and oil industry must be scrapped immediately. Third-party experts, including Canada's parliamentary budget officer, have provided overwhelming evidence that this policy will limit production in the industry. Only the federal government – and activists – continue to declare the opposite. They're wrong, and keeping this cap will send a damaging signal to investors who are already hesitant about investing in Canada. Article content Carney has promised to get major projects approved in under two years. But C-69, the 'no more pipelines' bill, has made getting energy projects approved nearly impossible. Ten years to a no is not a process – it's paralysis.
