What happened
The Government of Canada plans to introduce a bill aimed at fast-tracking major projects, which is expected to remove the review responsibility for large projects, such as pipelines and power transmission lines, from the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada. This legislative move is part of a broader push to create 'economic zones' and pre-approve certain projects through ministerial authority. The government is also currently planning an energy deal with Alberta regarding these resource projects.
