The Canadian Association of Energy Contractors (CAOEC) is deeply disappointed with today’s announcement from Washington. Our Association will take the time to collaborate with Canadian governments to comprehensively assess the impact on our members and the tens of thousands of workers across the country. For over five decades, our workforce has been at the forefront of supporting North American energy security and affordability. Any compromise to the Canada-U.S. trading relationship will disproportionately affect our energy services workers and the communities where they live. CAOEC will work relentlessly with all stakeholders to advocate for a free and open continental energy market.
— Mark Scholz, President & CEO
