Public Consultation On Energy Issues In Québec

In July 2013, the Government of Québec announced an important public consultation process on energy issues, that will take place from September 3 to October 9, 2013. The results of this consultation will inform the province's new energy policy, which the Government of Québec expects to make public in 2014.

An independent commission, the Commission sur les enjeux énergétiques (the "Commission"), was created for the purpose of this consultation.

In sum, the mandate of the Commission is to:

• accurately assess the supply, production, development and consumption of different forms of energy in Québec;
• analyze related challenges, with a particular focus on experiences outside Québec;
