Member of Parliament for Peterborough–Kawartha, the Honourable Maryam Monsef, on behalf of Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, will announce funding to help businesses achieve energy efficiency.
Canada is building a clean energy future that creates jobs, reduces costs for families and ensures that we remain a destination of choice for international investment. Central to this goal is the growing global battery market that has the potential to change the way we use and store power, providing a major economic opportunity for Canada while directly supporting efforts to mitigate climate change.
Energy efficiency in buildings lowers costs, creates jobs and helps the environment. Promoting energy-efficient practices is key to Canada’s approach to a clean energy economy.
When we invest in Canadian ideas, our economy grows and our communities flourish. That is why the Government of Canada is funding the development of innovative new products and processes in our natural resource sectors.
Canada's forest sector continues to be an important generator of good jobs in communities across the country, including rural, remote and Indigenous communities in Quebec. The Government of Canada is working with Indigenous peoples to ensure that they not only participate in sustainable forestry projects but also benefit from initiatives created by their community, for their community.
The Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, along with his Parliamentary Secretary Paul Lefebvre, will make an energy efficiency announcement in Cranbrook, British Columbia, on the margins of the Energy and Mines Ministerial Conference. A media availability will follow.
Canada’s mining and minerals industry is important to our economy and to communities across the country. Developing Canada’s natural resources in cleaner, more sustainable ways will create good, middle-class jobs, increase competitiveness and reduce pollution as we move toward a clean energy future.
Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, and his Parliamentary Secretary, Paul Lefebvre, will participate in the Energy and Mines Ministers’ Conference (EMMC) in Cranbrook, British Columbia, from July 15 to 17, 2019.
