"Build out Canada’s east-west electricity grid, a nation-building transmission project developed with provinces, territories, and Indigenous partners, and stakeholders. This commitment will unleash clean growth across the country, connecting more homes and businesses to the power of clean electricity and attracting new investments in resource projects. And we will open new markets for large electricity producers in Canada, such as Hydro-Québec and Manitoba Hydro, and enhance connectivity to low-emissions electricity needed for industry and the broader economy to reach net-zero emissions. This effort will strengthen our energy security and build Canada into one economy." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-21
