The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that a group of Canadian energy chief executive officers is urging the country's leaders to declare an energy crisis and use emergency powers to cut regulations, claiming this will enhance domestic production and sovereignty. The Globe's Bill Curry and Jeffrey Jones write that the 14 CEOs, representing pipeline and oil and gas companies, sent a letter to the leaders of Canada's four main political parties ahead of the federal election campaign. The letter suggests policy changes to attract capital investments, particularly for increasing liquefied natural gas exports. Enbridge CEO Greg Ebel says: "Most of the political leaders at the federal and provincial level are reaching out to all of us, asking: What's a better way forward? So we think this is a constructive addition." The trade war between Canada and the United States is altering the political landscape, especially in the energy sector. Both the governing Liberals and opposition Conservatives, tied in polls, are shifting focus from climate initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions to policies that prioritize economic growth. The CEOs are calling for streamlined approvals for major infrastructure projects.
