No. M136-1E-PDF (Online) ISSN 2291-9074 Aussi disponible en français sous le titre : Cahier d’information sur l’énergie, 2016-2017 Recycled paper Preface The purpose of the Energy Fact Book is to provide key information on energy markets in Canada in a format that is easy to consult. This edition is based on data and information available as of June 2016. All data is subject to revisions by statistical sources. In some instances, more than one source may be available and discrepancies in numbers may occur because of conceptual or methodological differences. In addition, some numbers may not add up precisely due to rounding. This publication was assembled by the Energy and Economic Analysis division of the Energy Policy branch with the help of subject experts from across the Energy sector, the Minerals and Metals sector, the Innovation and Energy Technology sector, and other sectors of Natural Resources Canada.

Some energy-related industries (e.g. petroleum product wholesaler-distributors and coal product manufacturing) are excluded because of a lack of data.

Energy Fact Book — 2016–2017 3 Energy industries North American Cooperation on Energy Information (NACEI) As part of the trilateral memorandum of understanding (MoU) concerning climate change and energy collaboration, the Energy Ministers from Canada, Mexico and the United States (U.S.) have created an institutional framework for consultation and sharing publicly available energy information among the countries. The areas of focus as they relate to collaboration on energy information include: • Energy trade statistics: Comparing, validating and improving respective energy import and export information; • Geographical energy information: Sharing publicly available geospatial information related to energy infrastructure; • Outlooks for energy supply and demand: Exchanging views and information on projections of cross-border energy flows; and • Cross reference for energy terminology: Harmonizing terminology, concepts and definitions of energy products. To access related products, visit the NACEI web portal at www.nacei.org, where you will find: • Data tables for trade flows of energy products and a methodological guide explaining the various sources of data; • Static and dynamic maps of North America’s energy infrastructure and renewable energy resource potential; • A report on the framework required to develop more harmonized North American energy outlooks; and • A cross-referenced guide of terms relevant to each of the above three areas of analysis. Note that the product offering from this trilateral collaboration will continue to be developed and updated on a regular basis. 4 Energy Fact Book — 2016–2017 Energy industries Energy in the Canadian economy (2015) Nominal gross domestic product (in 2015 prices) Industry Nominal GDP* % of Canadian ($ billions) GDP Energy (Direct) 136 7.3 • Oil and gas** 98 5.3 • Electricity 35 1.9 Energy (Indirect)*** 64 3.5 • Oil and gas 45 2.4 Total (Direct + Indirect) 200 10.8 • Oil and gas 142 7.7 Employment Industry Employment % of total (jobs) employment Energy (Direct) 280,365 1.5 • Oil and gas** 191,415 1.0 • Electricity 78,270 0.4 Energy (Indirect)*** 625,033 3.4 • Oil and gas 518,133 2.8 • Oil and gas construction 203,065 1.1 Total (Direct + Indirect) 905,398 5.0 • Oil and gas 709,548 3.9 * Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) estimates ** Oil and gas includes oil and gas extraction, support activities for oil and gas extraction, natural gas distribution, petroleum refineries, and pipeline transportation. *** These NRCan estimates include industries that supply goods and services to the energy industry, such as equipment manufacturing, construction and financial services. Revised Statistics Canada data shows that direct and indirect employment in the oil and gas sector has declined by 47,225 (6.2%) since 2014, as a result of the low oil price environment. About 16,200 Aboriginal people living off-reserve are directly employed in the energy sector.

  • What Does Energy Security Mean for Canada?
    Canadian Energy Security What Does Energy Security Mean for Canada? 2009-10 Capstone seminar student report Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa In collaboration with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Canadian Energy Security Page | 2 This report highlights the results of a Capstone seminar on Canada and Global Energy Security given (in English) by the University of Ottawa in 2009-10. The Capstone seminars expose graduate students to strategic issues and are jointly designed and taught by a member of faculty and a practitioner. The seminar covered by this report results from close collaboration between the university and Canada’s security and intelligence community. Guided by the seminar supervisors, its content was developed by the participating students and does not represent formal positions on the part of the organizations involved. The report is not an analytical document; its aim is to support future discussion.

Securing the processes through which that energy is produced, delivered and consumed is therefore of paramount importance. Many countries view the primary goal of energy security to be securing a reliable supply. In the case of Canada, a country rich in energy resources, energy security is a more complex concept.

  • Canada’S Actions on IAS
    1 Bioinvasion and Global Environmental Governance: The Transnational Policy Network on Invasive Alien Species Canada’s Actions on IAS Descriptioni Canada is a vast country (by landmass it is the world’s second largest country) rich in natural resources and biodiversity. It has a population of about 33.2 million. It became self-governing in 1867, but it wasn’t until the 1982 Canada Act that legislative dependence with the British parliament was severed. To this day Canada has maintained ties to the British Crown and it is a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as the head of state. Canada is a parliamentary democracy. Canada is a federation of ten provinces (from west to east: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador) and three northern territories (Yukon, Northwest territories and Nunavut); it is bordered by three different oceans: the Pacific Ocean on the western coast, the Arctic Ocean on the northern coast and the Atlantic Ocean on the eastern coast. To the south, Canada shares a long, largely unprotected border with the United States. Canada is technologically and economically similar to the US.ii It maintains a diversified economy, but trade is heavily reliant on the U.S. It is a member of G8, NATO, Commonwealth of Nations, and La Francophonie.
