The Canadian government has proposed legislative changes to streamline the review process for major projects, including energy projects such as pipelines. The goal is to complete these reviews within one year, as reported by CBC News.
The proposed measures aim to reduce delays and provide more certainty for project proponents. The changes would apply to projects under federal jurisdiction, such as those assessed by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada.
Details of the legislation were not immediately available, but the government has indicated it will seek to balance efficiency with environmental protection and Indigenous consultation requirements.
