Who is responsible for the protection of Canadas critical energy infrastructure?
Critical energy infrastructure protection is a shared responsibility of the private sector and all levels of government. The private sector owns approximately 85 percent of the energy infrastructure in Canada. Under our constitution, responsibility for energy matters is divided between the federal and provincial governments. This creates both a challenge for managing this initiative and an opportunity for the federal government to take a leadership role to ensure that all responsible entities are working collaboratively to achieve common security goals.
