"Today Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre revealed his plan to create ‘Canada Shovel Ready Zones.’ These zones will be areas already permitted for construction, meaning the permits will not just take less time, but will already be completed when a company decides to build a mine, LNG terminal or pipeline, bringing home thousands of jobs for Canadian workers and taking back control of our economy from the Americans.

Poilievre described how his Canada First Conservative Government will get the Canada Shovel Ready Zones done:

1. Identify a location that makes sense for a power station, LNG plant, pipeline, or another major project.
2. Make sure it is safe for Canadians and the environment.
3. Work with other levels of government to lock down zoning and permits in advance of construction.
4. Offer pre-permitting before even getting an application so that permits could be published online with a checklist that businesses would have to complete in order to protect nature and people.

We will improve the Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS) for large industrial emitters and actively work with provincial and territorial governments to ensure carbon markets continue to function well, reduce barriers to harmonizing and linking these markets across the country, and ensure they establish a long-term signal to lock in investments. This will make sure that, as Canadian industry reduces emissions, we are still competitive, make sure companies are able to withstand America’s trade war, and that Canada is positioned to take advantage of new opportunities in the global marketplace." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23

"Enable opportunities for big polluters to support consumers in lowering their carbon footprint. We will work with provinces and territories to seek ways for large emitters to support consumer adoption of green technologies and retrofits, such as heat pumps and electric vehicles, which also help lower household energy bills." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23

"Promote fair competition with our trading partners by developing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. Companies that take their climate responsibilities seriously should be treated fairly. So we will work with reliable partners to ensure fairness for Canadian industries and better economically integrate Canada with allies in the fight against climate change. This approach would focus on ensuring the competitiveness of Canada’s most energy-intensive, trade-exposed sectors, and protect Canadians who work in industries such as steel and aluminum." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23

"Funding home retrofits and lowering utility bills while making it easier for low- and middle-income households, including renters, to adopt heat pumps and energy efficiency upgrades including insulation upgrades, heat pump installation, and window replacements;" — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

"New Democrats are committed to our Build Canadian, Buy Canadian Plan to boost our domestic economy and create a stronger and more independent economy. As part of this plan we would develop sector-specific industrial strategies for energy, mining, manufacturing, buildings and transportation, with workers at the table every step along the way, with the goal of accelerating Canada’s clean energy transition and attracting new investment in communities across the country. And we would provide additional supports to train more workers for tomorrow’s green economy. Our goal will be to support good, new jobs in clean industries, and support the decarbonization of essential industries like steelmaking, cement-making, transportation and others." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

"We would start work on an East-West clean energy grid—a major country-building infrastructure project that could deliver affordable, clean and secure energy to people and businesses across the country." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

"We recognize that clean electricity will be critical to building a competitive economy that supports people in local communities. We will aim to power Canada with net-zero electricity by 2035, moving to 100% non-emitting electricity by 2045. To support this goal we will bring together provinces and terriroties to prioritize the building of an East-West interprovincial power grid." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

"incentivizing Projects of National Interest by keeping the federal government’s current suite of investment tax credits for clean energy, finalizing the tax credits under development, and reinforcing the Canada Growth Fund, including by supporting carbon contracts for difference;" — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-14

"Move forward on Canada’s six major investment tax credits (ITCs) that support clean energy and technology — the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage ITC, Clean Technology ITC, Clean Electricity ITC, Clean Hydrogen ITC, Clean Technology Manufacturing ITC, and Electric Vehicle Supply Chain ITC." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-23
