"Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced today he will create a ‘Canada First’ National Energy Corridor to fast-track approvals for transmission lines, railways, pipelines, and other critical infrastructure across Canada in a pre-approved transport corridor entirely within Canada, transporting our resources within Canada and to the world while bypassing the United States. It will bring billions of dollars of new investment into Canada’s economy, create powerful paycheques for Canadian workers, and restore our economic independence." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

"In the corridor, all levels of government will provide legally binding commitments to approve projects. This means investors will no longer face the endless regulatory limbo that has made Canadians poorer. First Nations will be involved from the outset, ensuring that economic benefits flow directly to them and that their approval is secured before any money is spent." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

"One-year maximum wait times for approvals with a target of six months. There will be a target goal of decisions on applications in six months, with an upper time limit of one year, giving businesses certainty, cutting delays, and getting shovels in the ground faster." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

"Today Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre revealed his plan to create ‘Canada Shovel Ready Zones.’ These zones will be areas already permitted for construction, meaning the permits will not just take less time, but will already be completed when a company decides to build a mine, LNG terminal or pipeline, bringing home thousands of jobs for Canadian workers and taking back control of our economy from the Americans.

Poilievre described how his Canada First Conservative Government will get the Canada Shovel Ready Zones done:

1. Identify a location that makes sense for a power station, LNG plant, pipeline, or another major project.
2. Make sure it is safe for Canadians and the environment.
3. Work with other levels of government to lock down zoning and permits in advance of construction.
4. Offer pre-permitting before even getting an application so that permits could be published online with a checklist that businesses would have to complete in order to protect nature and people.

This means businesses could buy the land, move in, hire people and build, knowing they already have the permits."

"Poilievre will axe the entire Liberal carbon tax law, including the federal law that requires the provinces to impose an industrial carbon tax." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

Il proposera d’éliminer l’ensemble des subventions et de toute forme d’aides publiques accordées au secteur des combustibles fossiles, y compris le soutien financier accordé par l’intermédiaire d’Exportation et développement Canada, tout en s’assurant que ces entreprises n’imposent pas au public les coûts liés à la réduction des émissions ou à la dépollution de l’environnement.

"And we are committed to keeping a strong oil and gas emissions cap, as well as to keeping the North Coast tanker ban in place to protect our coastal ecosystems from possible oil spills." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

"New Democrats are committed to our Build Canadian, Buy Canadian Plan to boost our domestic economy and create a stronger and more independent economy. As part of this plan we would develop sector-specific industrial strategies for energy, mining, manufacturing, buildings and transportation, with workers at the table every step along the way, with the goal of accelerating Canada’s clean energy transition and attracting new investment in communities across the country. And we would provide additional supports to train more workers for tomorrow’s green economy. Our goal will be to support good, new jobs in clean industries, and support the decarbonization of essential industries like steelmaking, cement-making, transportation and others." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

"We will replace mere consultation with a standard of free, prior and informed consent, including for all decisions affecting constitutionally protected land rights, like energy project reviews. Opportunities and benefits of projects should go to the communities that want them, not the CEOs and billionaires who force them through." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

"We will end the free ride for fossil fuel polluters by eliminating fossil fuel subsidies by the end of 2026, and we would immediately implement a cap on oil and gas emissions." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19
