content<\/p>\n<p>The program is designed to help Indigenous communities buy equity in natural resource and energy projects by securing them more favourable interest rates.<\/p>\n<p>Freeland said she would like to see the program up and running quickly, and the government has set up a special office in the Privy Council to get clean energy projects done faster.<\/p>\n<p>But the government also faced criticism at the conference for being slow to roll out a key framework to help draw energy transition investments.<\/p>\n<p data-async=\"\">Speaking at a morning session at the conference, former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney said the government needs to roll out a transition finance framework that would help spell out when investments in grey areas like critical minerals or natural gas should be counted as part of the climate solution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will make a huge, huge difference to getting the level of capital to the solutions that we all need,\u201d said Carney, who also leads transition investing at Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. and is the United Nations special envoy for Climate Action and Finance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMajor countries are adopting this framework and mainstreaming it. So the U.K., Japan, Singapore, European Union and the United States.
