On 17 May 2022 the US Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, chaired by Senator Joe Manchin, held a hearing to examine ways to strengthen the energy and mineral partnership between the United States and Canada to address energy security and climate objectives. The witnesses were Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, Quebec Associate Deputy Minister of Mines Nathalie Camden, Electricity Canada chief executive Francis Bradley and federal Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson. In a release the same day, the committee's Democratic side said Manchin stressed collaborating with Canada to create "a powerful North American Energy Alliance". Kenney told the committee that Alberta provides 62% of US oil imports and said: "We need a message from the Administration about regulatory certainty."
