Our Statement on the MOU Between the Governments of Canada and Alberta

Today’s MOU between the governments of Canada and Alberta is a welcome pivot toward economic cooperation, greater regulatory certainty and reduced tension. Alberta is one of Canada’s most significant economies and a cooperative, constructive era is far better than one of continued division and discord. This MOU and Budget 2025’s measures represent meaningful steps to respond to long-standing industry concerns.

Achieving Canada’s potential as an energy superpower and dealing with increasing geopolitical shifts requires unprecedented levels of federal–provincial collaboration. The federal government and the province of Alberta must be pulling in the same direction, alongside all provinces in the federation. The Canadian Chamber has long called for working together so can we build a responsible and thriving energy sector, invite investment, create jobs, and strengthen Canada’s competitiveness.
