Standing Senate Committee On Energy: Productive Energy

Canada Dept: The Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources has launched a new blueprint outlining 13 priorities to ensure Canada will be the most energy productive nation in the world with the highest level of environmental performance, according to Montreal Gazette. We see Canada s potential as the most productive energy nation in the world, with the highest levels of environmental performance, said Senator David Angus, Committee Chair. But we also conclude that there is a great sense of urgency and we need an energy literacy that includes a profound recognition that energy pervades all aspects of our lives, and is a key element of our social fabric. The future is fraught with peril if we don t get it right and that s a lot of priorities, but to be fair Canada s energy needs are complex and its impact far-reaching. The committee sat through hundreds of meetings, spoke to 250 stakeholders and solicited public advice over three years to outline 13 key focus areas for the country. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
