In fact, investment intentions for 2022 are rising more in the private sector than in the public sector — up $13.2 billion, compared to just $10.3 billion. And far from transitioning to green energy, Canada is increasing its investments in fossil fuels by a hefty $5.4 billion to at least $44.0 billion, or nearly one-quarter of all private investment .
