OTTAWA — The federal government still has not announced its clean electricity strategy, despite Prime Minister Mark Carney saying it would land weeks ago.
At a news conference in Halifax on March 26, Carney told reporters the government would be releasing “next week” a strategy to expand the electricity grid through hydro, nuclear and renewable energy.
In the spring economic update Tuesday, the government said it was planning to release a “discussion paper” to seek input from provinces and territories on how to modernize the grid.
The update did indicate the government plans to release a new nuclear energy strategy, and it announced that strategy will come by the end of the year.
When asked on his way into a recent caucus meeting for an update on the electricity strategy, Carney would only say, “It’s coming.”
The Prime Minister’s Office told The Canadian Press it had nothing further to add.
