In order to reduce energy costs, should the government nationalize or privatize the energy sector?

Both privatized and nationalized energy companies to keep the sector competitive while allowing for Canadian control of national resources.

Both, this should be a joint effort between the private and national sectors. The private sector needs to be strongly monitored and regulated, the national should ensure minimum well-being of citizens as a priority. At no point should a foreign party be in control of either sector.

No one is reducing my cost. The government claims they do, by something like $12 per month...but from the line to my door, costing me more than my actual hydro

Nationalize the energy sector while still allowing provinces to privatize temporarily to test new ideas

Nationalize the grid / delivery of energy, privatize the creation and sale of energy

Privatize but increase competition.

Depends on what aspect of the energy sector.

Energy needs vary too much to create one national energy plan

Neither would help costs

Privatize, with regulation limiting the cost to the consumer.

Mix of nationalized and privatized.

Neither, but more oversight

Privatize and allow individuals to produce, create and share energy without government permission.

Quebec hydro is our own ressource. We cannot be compared to the other provinces.

No go nuclear and reduce that way

A combination of the two, as some energy like electricity should he nationalized.

It should operate under the same framework as NavCanada, a privately run, not for profit organization.

Keep the ratio of public:private ownership at current levels.

Have government owned energy while leaving the private sector to the market

See no particular need to change the way it is now.

We should switch to natural resources within our homes

Not unformed enough to have an opinion

A mix of national and private corporations with federal regulation.

Energy costs are already at a reasonable level

Privatize, and require that businesses are owned by employees.

There should be a mixture of both. At the federal level, there may be better opportunities for a nationalized company to acquire and operate resources across the country.

Privatize but provide incentive to companies who are providing clean renewable energy sources

Both, keep it balanced. Private sector can not be trusted to bring costs down. etc mergers, monopoly, price fixing

Privatize in the form of cooperatives

Should be a joint effort where incentives are in place and those that stand out will be allowed to have joint efforts with government

Privatized with fewer regulations on production, but Nationalize distribution.

I would need more information to respond on this.

Provincial authority

Public Company & environmental regulations to control pricing.

More national collaboration with provinces on electricity.

Whatever. Companies need to pay more royalties.

Nationalize, but ensure there's protections in place to prevent abuse

A mixture of both

A half and half solution between privet and national... like a 60-40%

Crown corporations

Governments should not intervene in the cost of energy.

I am fine with the current system

Allow both private and national

Research what works the most for different areas.

Nationalize through the provincial level

Mutualize. Energy should be run by community owned cooperatives.

I am unsure at this moment/ don’t have enough information to formulate an opinion

Privative while maintaining that beneficial ownership of energy firms must be over 50% Canadian.

The current situation is fine
