This paper revisits the relationship between energy prices and the Canadian dollar in the Amanovan Norden (1995) equation which showed a negative relationship such that higher real energy prices led to a depreciation of the Canadian dollar. Based on structural break tests, we find a break point in the sign of this relationship, which changes from negative to positive in the early 1990s. The break in the effect between energy prices and the Canadian dollar is consistent with major changes in energy-related cross-border trade and in Canada's energy policies. RésuméL'effet des prix des produits énergétiques sur le dollar canadien identifié par Aamno et van Norden (1995) est ré-examiné dans ce document de travail. Ces derniers avaient trouvé une relation négative entre les deux variables, telle qu'une hausse des cours des prix énergétiques conduit à une dépréciation du dollar canadien. En testant pour des bris structurels dans l'équation, nous découvrons que la relation a changé de signe dans le temps. Initialement négative, la relation tourne positive au début des années 1990. Le changement de la relation reflète, selon nous, l'évolution du commerce frontalier des produits énergétiques et l'assouplissement de la réglementions dans le secteur au fil du temps.
