Today, Prime Minister Trudeau announced new measures to support Canada’s energy sector. Mr. Trudeau also announced financial measures to support innovators & entrepreneurs, and for the arts, sports and culture sectors.

Energy Sector Support:‍

The Prime Minister indicated the goal of measures to support the energy sector is to create and retain immediate jobs, help businesses stay afloat, and support Canada’s environmental targets. Specific measures include:

A $1.7 billion fund to clean up orphan and abandoned wells in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.
A $750 million emissions-reduction fund, with a focus on methane, including $75 million to help the offshore industry cut emissions in Newfoundland and Labrador.

In addition, the Government is working with EDC and BDC to help small and mid-size energy companies. The Government estimates that the orphan wells and methane initiatives will help maintain 10,000 jobs.

Innovators & Entrepreneurs Support:‍

The government announced $962 million to regional development agencies to help more businesses, particularly those that don't have relationships with traditional financial institutions, including those in in remote communities.

Mr. Trudeau also announced $250 million in support channeled through Futurpreneur Canada and the Industrial Research Assistance Program for innovators and other nascent businesses not eligible for the wage subsidy.

Arts, Culture, and Sports Sector Support:‍

Mr. Trudeau also announced $500 million in funding to Heritage Canada to support artists, creators and athletes.

This funding will help artists, athletes and cultural organizations with wage supports and liquidity.

L’énergie, l’ambition que le Québec ne peut plus reporter

Quebec’s next government will not be judged only on its ability to manage public finances, public services or the economy. It will also be judged on a defining question: did it give Quebec the energy needed to support its ambitions?

Protéger votre projet contre les aléas électoraux en 2026

Les élections municipales de 2026 en Ontario se dérouleront sur un terrain connu, mais plus exigeant : le logement, l’abordabilité et les infrastructures locales qui rendent la croissance viable. Les maires, les conseillers et le personnel municipal subissent une pression accrue pour démontrer des progrès concrets, au-delà des simples débats. Pour les promoteurs, les institutions et les grands acteurs qui font avancer des projets à l’échelle municipale, cela signifie une chose : si votre travail est visible, il sera politique.
