Canadians have families to support, aspirations for the future, we are concerned about our economic recovery. The energy industry is a huge economic engine in the country’s economy and can help drive our recovery by putting people back to work, generating more exports and providing more government revenues.
Natural gas and oil are Canada’s largest export commodities by value. In 2019, exports of oil, natural gas, other petroleum products and refined products such as gasoline generated more than $112 billion, or about 19 per cent of revenue from all of Canada’s exports combined – the biggest Canadian export by value of any industry.
