What happened

Four federal ministers defended Bill C-39 in the House of Commons on October 19, 2026. The 243-page bill seeks to fast-track major projects, reduce review times, and establish zones of “national interest” for pre-approval. Dominic LeBlanc stated that the legislation does not reduce Ottawa’s requirement to consult with Indigenous rights holders.
