Energy Minister Tim Hodgson on Canada’s New Energy Ambitions: Full Interview | WONK with Amanda Lang

Video Description

Listen to more episodes of WONK, the Public Policy Forum’s podcast about big ideas in unprecedented times: https://pod.link/1505539532 The time for slow rolling major energy projects in Canada appears to be ending. The resources sector is increasingly seen as both the low-hanging fruit of economic growth and a core component of clean technology in the future — a seeming contradiction that Ottawa is eagerly embracing. WONK host Amanda Lang talks to Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson about attracting capital, the Major Projects Office, Indigenous economic participation and why he sees opportunity ahead.
