Natural Resources Canada's Energy Sector promotes the sustainable development and safe and efficient use of Canada's energy resources through its policies, programs, and science and technology. It assesses the potential economic, regional, international and environmental implications of Canada's energy production and use. It also provides technical knowledge and advice to the energy industry and to government. Its knowledge base helps the Government of Canada to formulate policies, implement regulations, enhance job and wealth creation, and meet its international commitments.
The Energy Sector is committed to developing and promoting economic, regulatory and voluntary approaches that encourage sustainable development of energy resources. A major goal is to achieve environmental and economic excellence. Canadian energy policy is market-based and oriented toward sustainable development and is no longer narrowly concerned with production and supply issues. Today, it is more aligned to the broader economic, environmental and public interest goals of the Canadian and world economies.
