Energy Security Council

Energy Security Council

Ensuring Canada has a resilient, diverse and sustainable energy supply is critical to our nation’s economic and energy security.

The Council

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and its members on the Energy Security Council are focused on shaping policies that ensure Canada maintains a resilient, diverse and sustainable energy supply capable of meeting our current and future needs.

With rising geopolitical tensions and aggravated supply chain challenges, developing reliable and affordable Canadian energy resources, including oil, natural gas, hydrogen, nuclear and clean technology, is critical to establishing and safeguarding our energy security and that of our trade partners.

The Council is an action-oriented, dynamic forum bringing together organizations from all energy sectors, including natural resources and utility companies, energy innovation, regulatory services and more. The Council aims to foster relationships with senior government officials to build trust, create dialogue, and offer advice and perspectives on how to grow, innovate and deliver Canadian energy to Canadians and other nations.

Policy Priorities

The Council will prioritize increasing awareness among Canadians about the critical role of energy security in their daily lives by highlighting how stable and affordable energy supplies support economic stability, protect against disruptions, and strengthen Canada’s international partnerships.
