An Act respecting the development of a national renewable energy strategy
Bill C-214 is a Private Member's Bill calling for a federal National Renewable Energy Strategy with statutory targets, transmission-grid expansion coordination, and capital-allocation rules. Builds on the 2023 Clean Electricity Regulations (carbon-free generation by 2035) and the federal Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act (S.C. 2021, c. 22). Sponsor uses the bill to apply pressure for the Atlantic Loop east-west grid expansion (estimated $5 billion federal investment) and the Manitoba Hydro-Saskatchewan power-sharing agreement that has stalled at the technical-feasibility stage.
