of Natural Re Ministre des Ressources naturelles Ottawa. Canada K1A 0E4 2 4 2017 Mr. Scott Pruitt Administrator environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue North West Washington, D.C. 20460 no UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Cn Dear Administrator Pruitt: Thank you for the opportunity to meet with you in Washington, D.C. so soon after our initial meeting at IHS CERAWeek in Houston. I appreciated discussing in greater detail how we can work together in promoting economic growth through resource development while we protect our water, land and air. Hearing more about your priorities for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as well as expected actions by Congress in areas of the environment, showed how much room there is for cooperation on natural resource and environmental issues between the United States (U.S.) and Canada. As the U.S. and Canada maintain and build leadership in energy in the coming years, I trust that our existing collaboration on key energy programs will prove instrumental, especially those with such well-established records as the EPA-run ENERGY STAR and SrnartWay. Other technologies and the various "challenges" of Mission Innovation will help both the U.S. and Canada meet our energy and environmental objectives while creating economic growth and jobs across North America. I look forward to welcoming you to Ottawa at the end of June on your way to the North American Commission on Cooperation on the Environment meeting in Prince Edward Island. Yours sincerely, The Honourable Jim Carr, P.C., M.P.
