Discussion paper prepared to provide information about Canada's resource potential, the contribution of energy to the Canadian economy, Canada's place in the world energy market, and the outlook for the development of Canadian energy resources. In addition, it provides background information on issues such as energy and the environment, energy security, Canadian ownership of energy resources, energy R & D and energy conservation. It concludes with an indication of some of the key challenges facing the energy sector. The paper was prepared before Canada and the U.S. agreed in principle on a free trade agreement and does not include a discussion of the agreement or its potential impacts on the energy sector.

The United States and Canada, while independent countries, effectively comprise a single integrated market for petroleum and natural gas. Canada is the single largest foreign supplier of petroleum products and natural gas to the United States -- and the United States is the dominant consumer of Canada's energy exports. The value of the petroleum and natural gas trade between the two countries totaled nearly $100 billion in 2010, helping to promote general economic growth and directly support thousands of energy industry and related jobs on both sides of the border. Increased energy trade between the United States and Canada -- a stable, friendly neighbor -- is viewed by many as a major contributor to U.S. energy security. The U.S.-Canada energy relationship is increasingly complex, however, and is undergoing fundamental change, particularly in the petroleum and natural gas sectors. Traditionally, the energy trade between the United States and Canada, while intertwined, has been uncomplicated -- taking the form of a steadily growing southward flow of crude oil and natural gas to markets in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast. But recent developments have greatly complicated that energy relationship creating new competition and interconnections. Consequently, while energy policies in one country have always inevitably affected the other, their cross-cutting effects in the future may not be widely understood and, in some cases, may be largely unanticipated. How such scenarios could play out in reality is open to debate, but they illustrate the tangled web policymakers in both countries must navigate as they consider future energy, environmental, and transportation decisions.

This Selected Issues paper analyzes the unconventional energy boom in North America, and its macroeconomic implications and challenges for Canada. The unconventional energy boom has had significant positive effects on Canada’s economic activity and has the potential to contribute even more in the future with the appropriate extension of infrastructure capacity. The findings suggest that although limited exports capacity would result in output losses over the medium term, the potential output gains from a full market access of Canada’s energy products could reach about 2 percent of GDP over a 10-year horizon.

The purpose of this commentary is to consider where Canada's energy resources fit into the global outlook for energy and what this signifies for the nation & its public policies. Separate analyses are presented for the following resources: petroleum (including the role of OPEC, production in Russia, consumption in China, the US dependence on imports, and Canada's oil sands); natural gas, with a focus on the Canada-US market; coal; hydroelectric & nuclear power; and wind, solar, & hydrogen power.
