(Enbridge or the Company) (TSX: ENB) (NYSE: ENB) called on\n \n Canada\n \n to show leadership to the world in lowering global emissions, reducing energy poverty and supporting the progress of Indigenous communities in the country.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n In a keynote address to the Toronto Region Board of Trade, Ebel made a case for\n \n Canada\n \n to play an outsized and important role on the world stage, as it has at pivotal moments throughout history.
