EPIC’s unique quality and source of strength is our singular focus on one task: to draft an energy strategy and policy recommendations.

As we develop realistic policy options for consideration by government policy-makers, EPIC will be guided by the following principles:

• Ensure that energy and environmental imperatives go hand in hand in ways that will result in the most innovative and positive outcomes.
• Advance the primacy of the Canada-United States energy relationship and ensure that mutual clean energy goals focus on co-operation in the development and implementation of ground breaking technologies.
• Contribute ideas and solutions that enhance the openness of world energy markets and strengthen global rules relating to investment, carbon management and energy security.
• Help design regulatory processes that aid, rather than impede, responsible energy development.
  Promote certainty and predictability in energy policy which are vitally needed to support investment decisions.
