The Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s latest Policy Matters blog post, Why Energy Security Matters Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, highlights a critical issue for businesses and communities across Canada: ensuring we have a resilient, diverse, and competitive energy supply. With increasing economic pressures and evolving global energy demands, Canada must prioritize building the infrastructure and regulatory environment necessary to support domestic energy security while also positioning itself as a key global supplier.

As the blog notes, “We have to stop advancing policies that make Canada less competitive or else the investment and jobs will flow to our competitors, like the United States.” This is a crucial reminder that unnecessary regulatory barriers and slow project approvals are costing us economic opportunities and threatening our ability to meet both domestic and international energy needs.

President Trump’s recent executive orders and potential tariffs on Canadian energy exports serve as a wake-up call, Canada must diversify its export markets and streamline approvals for major projects. Without decisive action, we risk losing investment, jobs, and economic stability.

This discussion is essential for Saskatoon’s business community. Reliable, affordable energy powers our economy, and any threats to energy security impact our industries, households, and growth potential.
