Competition is central to productivity, innovation, and affordability, and a lack of competition in various sectors has led to far too high prices. Budget 2025 is launching some of the most ambitious, pro-competitive measures for Canada in a generation.
Building on commitments to enhance energy security made during the 2025 G7 Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, G7 Energy Ministers noted the importance of securing energy sources and critical mineral materials and of strengthening collaboration to improve the stability, resilience and flexibility of energy systems to meet demand and mitigate these risks.
With artificial intelligence (AI) emerging as one of the most consequential technologies for both the energy sector and global economy, Canada and its G7 partners are investing to support future competitiveness and productivity while considering energy security, reliability and affordability. G7 partners recognize that AI can be harnessed to promote energy innovation and help strengthen the resilience and reliability of energy systems. However, its adoption places growing pressure on energy grids and could negatively affect energy security.
