Greater cooperation between provinces with significant energy production and demand can create new opportunities for investment, trade, infrastructure development and job creation across the country.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“Canada has the resources, expertise and workforce to be a global energy leader, but we need to turn that potential into action,” said Lail. “Enserva is proud to convene this conversation at a time when industry, governments and Canadians are looking for a clear path forward.
