In a statement, a spokesperson noted that the ministry previously partnered with the federal government, B.C. Hydro and the cruise-ship industry to bring shore power to the terminal at Canada Place in Vancouver. It said shore power for cruise ships docking at Ogden Point would support Greater Victoria’s tourism industry and help reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. A Transportation Canada spokesperson noted climate change remains a key priority for the Canadian government, which intends to exceed the country’s 2030 climate goals and strive for net-zero emissions by 2050. “The government of Canada is scaling up efforts to reduce emissions from all parts of the economy, including the marine sector, and is exploring a range of opportunities to advance these efforts with partners.”
