Well, it doesn’t sound like there’s anything involved that might offend Quebecois sensibilities, or Eby in BC, etc…and the green flag can be waved repeatedly, etc…for the national good, etc…when Mark Carney launched the Major Projects Office in late August, he said it was designed to streamline regulatory approvals and help structure financing for proposals deemed to be in the national interest.

As Carney noted in his press conference, the projects added to the list should provide economic benefits to Canadians but, crucially, have to advance the interests of Indigenous people and must contribute to sustainable clean growth.

Fast-tracking is barely required, given many projects on the list were already at an advanced stage, some with full environmental approval, etc…
Dawn Farrell, the head of the new Major Projects Office, said her job is about “making sure people get across the (finish) line, get everything they need to get built on time and on budget.” But neither she nor the prime minister made a convincing argument about why being on the list helps when a project has already been granted environmental approval. What use is the Major Projects Office when the government keeps selecting proposals that have already been approved?

Of course we are building a new bureaucracy to facilitate navigating bureaucrcy.

Here is the announcement portion for Saskatchewan for a mine from Carney yesterday, that has already been announced well over a year ago that it was a go.
