Alison Cretney of the Energy Futures Lab provided testimony to the House of Commons INDU Committee on the impacts of U.S. tariffs on Canada’s metallurgical and advanced manufacturing sectors, highlighting the need for a more integrated and resilient critical materials strategy for Canada.

The Lab welcomes Richard Hiller as Director, Future Materials Alliance. Richard will lead efforts in advancing the FMA at a pivotal moment, as global demand accelerates and jurisdictions compete to secure their critical minerals supply chains. As Director, Richard will help coordinate action across sectors, create alignment between policy and investment, and enable progress toward a more resilient and competitive materials ecosystem.

The Lab welcomes Marla Orenstein as Director, Partnerships & Impact. Marla will lead efforts to turn insight into further action, connecting leaders across sectors to drive sustainable energy innovation, lower emissions, and stronger collaboration across the system to build the economic engines of the future—helping Alberta and Canada shape a more resilient and prosperous energy future.
