January 17, 2025
Distinguished guests, industry leaders, and esteemed colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that I join you today at this important panel discussion on Canada and the United States’ shared commitment to energy security and economic prosperity.
The relationship between our two nations has always been defined by close cooperation and mutual respect. As neighbors and allies, we have a shared interest in ensuring a secure and sustainable energy future for our citizens and businesses.
Today, as the world faces unprecedented challenges in the energy sector, it is more critical than ever that we work together to address these challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead.
Canada and the United States are global leaders in the energy industry. We possess vast natural resources, including oil, gas, and renewable energy sources. By leveraging our combined strengths, we can create a more resilient and sustainable energy system that benefits both our countries.
In recent years, we have witnessed a growing convergence in our energy priorities. Both Canada and the United States are committed to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, investing in renewable energy, and decarbonizing our economies.
This shared vision is reflected in the agreements we have made through the Canada-United States Energy Dialogue and the Joint Statement on Climate, Clean Energy, and Arctic Leadership. These agreements set out a roadmap for cooperation in a wide range of areas, including:
- Expanding our clean energy partnership
- Promoting energy efficiency
- Advancing carbon capture and storage technologies
- Collaborating on the development of hydrogen as a clean fuel
- Strengthening our critical minerals supply chains
Today’s panel discussion will provide an opportunity for us to delve deeper into these areas of cooperation and explore how we can translate our shared goals into concrete actions.
I am confident that the discussions we will have today will lead to new insights and pave the way for even greater cooperation between Canada and the United States in the energy sector.
By working together, we can create a more secure, sustainable, and prosperous future for our citizens and businesses.
Let us embrace this opportunity to strengthen the bonds between our two nations and build a lasting partnership for energy and beyond.
Thank you.
