Carney’s Projects Czar Pledges to Help Firms Compete Globally

The Canadian government will accelerate the development of mining and energy projects so that companies are better able to compete in markets worldwide, said the official in charge of shepherding new proposals through to construction.

Dawn Farrell, chief executive officer of the government’s Major Projects Office, said her job is to “ensure that Canadians have competitive mines, competitive pipelines, competitive LNG facilities — because the world only pays a certain price for our goods and we need to meet them at those prices.”
