Mr. Harper told the CWF event that a transition to a carbon-free economy is harder than it seems. “If you look at COP26, it seems people [are] arguing this is all a matter of will. It’s not a matter of will. It’s a matter of actually having cost-effective real solutions in real time.”
He added: “So much of the energy transition that people are talking about depends on technological developments that simply have not occurred yet. Or in cases where they are occurring, they suffer from serious resource deficiency.”
He also said that in his opinion, Canada’s reputation as a good place for foreign investment is declining, including on resource development.
“When it comes to Canada, international investors simply do not believe that this country can get it done,” he said. “They just don’t believe it.”
