Carney government planning changes to speed approvals for pipelines, resource projects

The Carney government is planning to propose changes to make it easier for natural resource projects — including pipelines — to be approved and built faster.

Two federal sources say an announcement is planned for later this week that could shift the regulatory framework for all natural resource and federally regulated major projects, with a big focus on energy and natural resources.

CBC News is not naming the sources because they were not authorized to speak publicly about internal conversations. The full details of the plan were not shared with CBC News, and sources warned elements of it are subject to change.

The sources described the plans as being in line with the Carney government’s promise to have one review per project, and to have a two-year decision timeline to approve major projects.

The plans are expected to include proposed "comprehensive" changes to processes, and as a result, the government will announce consultations ahead of passing required legislation.

The sources said pipelines will be easier to build, but this does not eliminate the mandatory consultation with Indigenous people. They said industry will likely be pleased, but environmentalists may be less so.

This is set to be a different process than what was established in the passage of C-5, a bill that allowed lawmakers to overrule regulations in order to fast-track projects of national importance. These changes would affect all projects, regardless of whether they are on a list.
