Canada-U.S. Relations

Canada and the United States have a deep and long-standing relationship. Millions of jobs in both countries are linked to the integrated economies and supply chains that currently exist. This continued partnership is essential to a strong and secure North America.

Canada is the number one global supplier of energy to the United States. Access to American markets for Canada’s energy is essential to maintain and further develop secure, sustainable energy resources for the mutual benefit of both countries. Governments will work together to ensure access to these markets. Premiers will also work together to highlight their leadership on climate change by seeking out opportunities to promote Canada’s expertise in clean energy technologies and will advocate for the recognition of Canadian hydroelectric power and tidal energy as renewable energy sources in U.S. legislation.
