On May 8th, 2018 the Pembina Institute appeared before the Standing Committee on Natural Resources to provide our assessment of the current state of energy data and to provide recommendations for drastically improving energy data and analysis in Canada. As part of our recommendations, we advocated for the creation of an independent energy information agency as well as increased data collection and harmonization responsibilities at Statistics Canada. This submission is in response to the Committee’s request for follow-up information highlighting steps that could be taken immediately to improve practices and begin the necessary institutional reform.
