The federal and Alberta governments are moving to streamline the approval process for major infrastructure projects.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have released a draft co-operation agreement that would create a “one project, one review” process for environmental and impact assessments in the province.
Officials say the goal is to speed up approvals for projects such as pipelines, rail infrastructure and power generation, while maintaining environmental protections and respecting Indigenous rights.
The draft agreement will be open for public feedback for 21 days.
