Question Period Note: Climate Change Adaptation and Clean Energy in Northern and Indigenous Communities

• Our government is working with Indigenous and northern communities to support the development of knowledge and tools to adapt to the impacts of climate change and to reduce reliance on diesel in the North by shifting to renewable sources of energy.
• We are committed to improving access to clean, reliable and affordable energy in northern communities. Through Budget 2021, new investments of $40.4 million over three years to support feasibility and planning of hydroelectricity and grid interconnection projects in the North and $300 million to transition Indigenous and remote communities from diesel will help bring more clean power to the North.
• Building on the success of current programs, we will continue to work with our Indigenous, territorial and northern partners to ensure a sustainable future for all communities.
