OCNI Welcomes Federal Budget 2025: A Framework for Stability, Predictability, and Critical Infrastructure Investment in Nuclear 

November 5, 2025 — Pickering, ON

The Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) welcomes the measures outlined in the 2025 Federal Budget. The Budget builds on government announcements over recent years and provides the stability and predictability essential for advancing the role of Canada’s nuclear sector in strengthening global competitiveness, increasing energy security, and providing sustainable energy for economic growth.

“Budget 2025 reinforces a commitment to building critical, generational infrastructure that will underpin Canada’s future economy and provide clean, reliable power for decades,” said Ivette Vera-Perez, President & CEO of OCNI. “The support for policy predictability, combined with clear mechanisms to accelerate major projects, will enable our industry and supply chain to meet the significant demand for nuclear technology both at home and abroad.”

OCNI commends the federal government’s continued recognition of nuclear as a cornerstone of Canada’s clean energy future. The Budget’s measures to strengthen project delivery frameworks, enhance financing mechanisms, and promote collaboration across federal and provincial jurisdictions represent an important step toward achieving Canada’s net-zero objectives.

As the representative voice of over 250 member organizations across the Canadian nuclear supply chain, OCNI remains committed to working closely with the federal government, utilities, and industry partners to translate today’s fiscal commitments into action—creating high-quality jobs, driving innovation, and ensuring long-term energy security for all Canadians.
