Report from Canada's Economic Strategy Tables: Report - Resources of the Future

Vision
By 2025, Canada is a global competitive force in natural resources with a clear path to recognized economic, environmental and social leadership, making Canadians proud of the success we create for our talent today and in the future.

Achieving the Table's vision for Canada's resource sectors means unlocking projects, markets and products, and, as a result, seeing significant growth in resource exports. To that end, the Table has set an ambitious exports growth target as the primary outcome of implementing the proposals put forward by the Table.

Target
Increase natural resource exports by 40% to $350B

Canada will grow its annual natural resource exports to $350 billion through innovation, decarbonization, agile regulations, infrastructure, talent and inclusion.

What we need to overcome

Declining competitiveness of resource projects, created by regulatory complexity, insufficient infrastructure, and uncertainty around land base and land use decision-making

Trade uncertainty created by lack of access to existing and new markets in a shifting global supply-and-demand environment

Declining Canadian and foreign investment in resource projects due to high project development costs

Significant demographic imbalance in resource jobs

Lack of agility in technology adoption

Evolving Indigenous landscape

A fair assessment of the Northwest coast situation

As Alberta eyes pipeline routes, the Trans Mountain experience looms large

Trans Mountain required seven reroutes and a total overhaul of its consultation with First Nations to move forward, and Alberta will need to apply these lessons in mitigation if it wants a pipeline to the northwest coast.

I don’t know why they don’t go along with Smith's idea of an export terminal in Washington State. Cut BC and First Nations right out of it. FAFO.

Because that would be giving up on 150 years of Canada and Sir John A MacDonald

The liberals did that 16 years ago. Remember, according to them, we are a post national state with no core identity.

Premier Smith should just put her money where her mouth is. The project needs a proponent

Why shop around for a backer? What would stop Alberta from building their own pipeline?

nothing. Smith is afraid to put her money on the table

Why shop around for a backer? What would stop Alberta from building their own pipeline?

The pipeline is now and always was a dead issue and all of Alberta's financial resources are insufficient to revive it and she knows it. Carney set her up to lose. Conditions: has to have first nation buy in. has to have a carbon sequester system in place which is untried technology and would be extremely expensive. Has to have provincial buy-in and they have said no. Have to be able to get tankers into the terminus and Carney hasn't said he would do that. I have written this before: no oil company is going to put any capital into a new pipeline anywhere in Canada not even to the northern states. Venezuelan crude coming on line has put paid to that plan

It isn't as if there isn't opportunity...

Especially if we want to buy access to the French and British nuclear umbrellas, as suggested in the Globe and Mail article on the prospective American invasion.

It isn't as if there isn't opportunity...

Especially if we want to buy access to the French and British nuclear umbrellas, as suggested in the Globe and Mail article on the prospective American invasion.

The Brits rely on the Americans to support and operate their nuclear arsenal.

They won't factor in. It's france or bust.
