Summary

The Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines (ENDM) sets the legislative and policy framework to ensure all Ontarians have a reliable and affordable energy supply, distribution and transmission, and choices in their energy use. As the ministry for Northern Ontario and the provincial minerals sector, ENDM also strives to make Northern Ontario and the provincial minerals sector strong, healthy and prosperous.

The Ministry develops and advises on all aspects of energy policy for Ontario, including electricity, natural gas and petroleum products. It oversees the Ontario Energy Board and the Independent Electricity System Operator. The Ministry is the sole shareholder of Ontario Power Generation and the largest shareholder of the publicly-traded Hydro One.

ENDM works with partners and stakeholders to develop policies supporting cost-effective energy supply, transmission and distribution systems; to consider and advance innovative solutions and technologies; to promote energy conservation and energy efficiency; and to power the economy so that Ontario is Open for Business.

The Ministry delivers economic development programs and serves as a voice for the North. ENDM’s programs support northern economic growth, and strong northern communities. The Ministry’s Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation makes strategic investments that help expand economic opportunity in the North.

ENDM promotes investment and exploration in the provincial minerals sector. ENDM’s Ontario Geological Survey provides geoscience information to clients on Ontario’s geology and earth resources. This supports a range of provincial development, planning, environmental, energy, and climate change policy priorities. The Ministry ensures safe, environmentally sound mineral development and rehabilitation of mining lands.

ENDM supports policy and program development for the Ring of Fire. The Ministry works with Indigenous communities, mining companies and other partners to encourage responsible, sustainable development.

The Ministry engages with Indigenous communities to fulfill the Crown’s legal duty to consult, to inform the development and implementation of energy and economic policies, programs and initiatives, and to increase Indigenous partnership and participation in the energy and mining sectors.

Northern Development Program - vote 2202

This program leads and assists in the development and delivery of policies, programs and services that support Northern Ontario businesses and communities. In addition, the program strives to make Northern Ontario strong, healthy and prosperous by providing business and community economic development support and access to government programs and services, promoting trade and investment, and addressing northern regional and local infrastructure needs. It also leads the implementation of provincial economic development growth strategies in the North.

The program provides support for policy and program development and implementation on a range of issues and opportunities with respect to Northern Ontario. By engaging Northerners in government initiatives, including policy and planning activities, this program also ensures Northerners have a say in the development of government programs and services that affect them. The program is responsible for applying a Northern lens for policy review and development and champions Northern Ontario interests to advance economic development.

This program invests in Northern Ontario infrastructure to support government priorities. Strategic investments in infrastructure such as the Northern Highways Program, Winter Roads Program and telecommunications and information technology are improving the North's linkages to the rest of Ontario, Canada and beyond.

The program area provides economic development support to Northern Ontario businesses and communities. Through this program, the Ministry's network of offices provides northern communities and businesses with access to government economic development programs and services. Ministry programs work to attract trade and investment opportunities to help northern businesses develop and expand domestic and international markets. The Ministry also supports public and private sector economic growth, diversification and job creation through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation and initiatives such as the Northern Industrial Electricity Rate Program.

Mines and Minerals Program - vote 2203

This program encourages, promotes and facilitates the sustained economic benefits of Ontario's mineral resources through its oversight of Ontario's mineral exploration and development sector. It promotes a strong, safe and sustainable Ontario by administering Ontario's Mining Act in a fair and consistent manner, to ensure sustainable and responsible development of our mineral resources. This involves ensuring equitable public access to Crown mineral rights, fair and efficient management of Ontario's mining lands as well as ensuring the safe, environmentally sound mineral development and rehabilitation of mining lands.

It also has responsibility for encouraging and facilitating Indigenous participation in economic opportunities associated with Ontario's mining sector in a way that is respectful of Indigenous rights and culture and meets Ontario's consultation obligations.

The program also generates and disseminates geoscientific data that attracts and guides mineral sector investment and informs a broad range of government policy priorities.

This program also provides support for policy and program development and implementation on a range of issues and opportunities with respect to development in the Ring of Fire. A dedicated secretariat works with all parties involved, consulting with Northerners including Indigenous people and the mining community to encourage the region's responsible, sustainable development.
