Canadian Propane Association on LinkedIn: Canadians in remote and rural communities need access to affordable… (2024)

The CPA is disappointed that theCanada Industrial Relations Boardis not recognizing rail as an essential service. This decision will severely impact the millions of Canadians who rely on the goods transported by rail, including propane,an essential energy source used daily for critical services in hospitals, senior facilities, schools, farms, emergency measure services and more. The CPA is hopeful that CN, CPKC and Teamsters Canada will reach a successful conclusion to the negotiations, ensuring continued movement of propane across the country. If not, we expect the federal government to take the necessary action to ensure that rail transportation of propane is not interrupted.#stopthestrike #CdnPoli #RailStrike #SupplyChainCrisis

The CPA applauds Vancouver's decision to reverse the ban on natural gas appliances in new homes. We have consistently called for energy choice. No province in Canada should have a “one-size-fits-all” energy solution. A flexible and adaptable approach to energy policy must consider the needs and potential challenges of all individuals and regions while ensuring affordability and reliable energy choice. Decarbonization is a dial and not a switch. All lower-emission energy options must be considered — including conventional energy sources like natural gas and propane — to help turn the dial more quickly.
