Energy policy in Canada
Brunclíková, Jana ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Vondrušková, Barbora (referee)
Canada dispose of a rich variety of energy resources including oil, gas, coal and uranium. As a net exporter of all these commodities and all the related top technologies and services, the Canadian Confederation has all the favorable conditions for a successful energy policy. Oil and gas industry was one of the most supported sectors of the Canadian economy. Many regulations were established in the 60's. Significant Federal and Provincial tax incentives were available for the development of the industry. But now, liberalization seems to be the new rule. Despite considerable economic gain, increasing proportion of oil and gas exportations, compared to the total production, brings concerns about the future energy security and the environment. Moreover, the beginning of the bitumen sand production represents the biggest ecology threat in the Canadian near future. As the system of governance is deeply decentralized in Canada, this report shows the necessity of federal-provincial cooperation, no matter the differences in the individual energy policies.
