Tim Hodgson

Tim Hodgson is Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, a portfolio responsible for federal policy on mining, critical minerals, oil, gas and electricity, as well as Canada's Major Projects Office initiatives. In this role he has overseen a series of federal funding announcements and investment agreements supporting critical minerals projects across Canada, including copper, palladium, lithium, cobalt, phosphate and zinc developments in Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Arctic territories. He has championed Canada's ambition to become an "energy and mining superpower" and a reliable supplier of critical minerals to allies, framing investments through vehicles such as the Canada Growth Fund, the Global Partnerships Initiative, the First and Last Mile Fund and the Strategic Resource Fund as ways to build resilient, sovereign domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on non-allied sources. He has also represented Canada in international energy diplomacy, including signing Canada's first liquefied natural gas supply arrangement with a European buyer, Germany's SEFE, tied to the proposed Ksi Lisims export facility in British Columbia, and participating in the International Energy Agency's global conference on energy efficiency in Montreal, where he pledged to double Canada's efficiency progress by 2030. His public statements consistently link resource development to job creation, Indigenous and community partnership, and strengthening Canada's economic resilience amid global trade and energy market uncertainty.
