Canada Aims to Approve Projects in a Year After Criticism It’s Too Slow

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is pushing to speed up the timeline for federal reviews of major projects to one year, after facing repeated criticism that Canada’s regulatory processes are too slow.

Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon announced on Friday that the government will launch a 30-day consultation period on a series of proposals to accelerate project reviews.
