Carney’s groundbreaking fiscal redefinition reshapes public finance, unlocking fresh avenues for government borrowing. By redefining “deficit” and “debt sustainability,” the new framework promises greater fiscal flexibility. Stakeholders can now navigate a clearer path to financing large‑scale projects while maintaining transparency and confidence in sovereign creditworthiness.
Governments don’t build industries – they set the policy groundwork that lets innovators thrive. That truth is on display in the fast moving Small Modular Reactor (SMR) sector. While Canada navigates its regulatory path, led by pioneers like GE Hitachi, the United States is racing ahead. The winners aren’t legacy nuclear giants, but agile SMEs reshaping nuclear power into something smaller, safer, and scalable. Alberta can adopt this playbook.
