Abstract

The treatment of energy as a separate subject with its own institutions and policies has earlier origins in Canada than in many other countries. The 1958 Report of a federal Royal Commission on Energy, the Borden Report (1), led to the establishment of the National Energy Board (NEB) in 1959. Official analysis of energy policy was started prior to the major wave of world interest; the National Energy Board's major study of Canadian en­ ergy supply and demand (2) was published in 1969, and An Energy Policy for Canada Phase 1 (3), the first major publication of the relatively new of federal department of Energy, Mines and Resources,l was published in June 1973.2 Both of these reports, especially the first, were optimistic about the prospects for future Canadian surpluses of relatively low-cost energy of 1969 NEB report was the basis for the 1970 approval 50% increase in long-term commitments for natural gas exports. After the major oil price increases of late 1973 and early 1974, there were many of a lWhen the Department was formed in 1967, based on the preexisting Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, with relevant bits transferred from elsewhere, energy policy was made one
