The Government of Canada is proposing to create the Canadian Energy Regulator (CER), a new federal energy regulator with the required independence and the proper accountability to oversee a strong, safe and sustainable Canadian energy sector in the 21st century. Legislation has been introduced in Parliament to this end (Bill C-69, An Act to enact the Impact Assessment Act and the Canadian Energy Regulator Act, to amend the Navigation Protection Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts). The CER would be located in Calgary, and would replace the NEB. It is expected to introduce modern and effective governance; enhanced certainty and timelier decisions; strengthened safety and environmental protection; more inclusive engagement processes; and greater Indigenous participation.

Federal and provincial governments collaborate on energy and mining policy through fora such as the Energy and Mines Ministers process. Recently, they focused on energy efficiency, responsible oil and gas development, electricity reliability, energy access, and technology innovation. In July 2015, Canada's Premiers adopted the Canadian Energy Strategy, updating the 2007 Shared Vision for Energy in Canada. The Strategy calls for this collaboration to address international climate change goals, and social and environmental responsibility. Canada's Mines Ministers announced the development of the Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (CMMP) in March 2018. The CMMP aims to solidify Canada's position as a global mining leader, and to lay the foundation for lasting success at home and abroad. In addition, on 7 December 2018, Canada's First Ministers agreed to lead a discussion on the development of a framework for a clean electric future, including hydroelectricity, aimed at using clean, reliable and affordable electricity, and to promote access to domestic and international markets. The specific content of this framework will be developed over the course of 2019.
