Francois Poirier’s Insights
During the first quarter 2025 earnings call, TC Energy Corporation President and CEO Francois Poirier emphasized the importance of addressing the regulatory system to facilitate advancements in pipeline and LNG export facilities. He highlighted that without these crucial updates, progress within the sector could stagnate, impacting energy security and economic growth.
The Way Forward
To ensure efficient operations, the new government must engage actively with industry stakeholders. This collaborative effort aims to streamline processes and alleviate existing challenges within the regulatory framework. By supporting infrastructure projects and easing restrictions, the government can help propel the energy sector into a new era of sustainability and innovation, ultimately benefiting all Canadians.
