Over the last twenty-five years, the power sector in Canada has changed radically, with more change to come as the country continues to electrify additional industries and components of life. The water and wastewater sector has begun to change as well, and with a significant infrastructure deficit and high expectations from the population, serious advancements will continue to be required. Lawyers working with various levels of government, private sector developers, manufacturers and sources of finance have all been instrumental in moving these industries forward. By learning from other jurisdictions and industries, Canadian lawyers have been able to assist their clients in adapting development and financial models to the local market and have made a big difference in the proliferation of renewable energy developments across the country. Moving forward, incorporating new carbon release reduction tools such as carbon capture and storage and hydrogen, will be critical, as well as dealing with significant new water contamination concerns. Lawyers working in these sectors will need to be more cognizant of the rights of indigenous groups, the priorities of all affected communities, and the tools at their disposal to progress infrastructure development.
