Cooperate with the United States on energy security and energy infrastructure.

What success looks like

Canada and the United States benefit from a secure and effective cross-border energy infrastructure.

Government's narrative on progress

Collaboration on energy security and infrastructure was included in the February 13, 2017 Joint Statement from the President of the United States and the Prime Minister. Canada continues to support several major cross-border energy infrastructure projects, including: Keystone XL, Line 67, Northern Pass, New England Clean Power Link, and Great Northern Transmission Line. All projects are at different stages of review, investment, or approval. The U.S. State Department has issued presidential permits for the construction of these projects. A North American Energy Ministerial meeting took place in November 2017, and identified further areas for North American collaboration, including the security, resiliency and reliability of shared energy systems; promoting energy trade and economic development; and developing and diversifying energy resources in a responsible manner.
