Infrastructure & Energy

Canadian infrastructure policy spans LNG export build-out on the Pacific coast, critical-minerals mining and processing, the small modular reactor (SMR) push centred in Ontario and Saskatchewan, hydroelectric exports to the U.S. Northeast, and the cross-jurisdictional politics of moving energy across provincial lines. Federal coordination through the Canada Infrastructure Bank and the Canada Strong Fund increasingly drives major-project economics.
