Minister Calls for Wartime Effort to Build Infrastructure

CANADA, JUN 21 – Bill C-5 aims to remove internal trade barriers and fast-track projects while ensuring Indigenous consultation and environmental protections, with summer summits planned, officials said.

  • On Friday, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government passed Bill C-5 in the House of Commons to fast-track major infrastructure projects and remove trade barriers across Canada.
  • The bill followed a mandate to build quickly while prioritizing projects with Indigenous engagement and support amid concerns about consultation and environmental reviews.
  • Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty said, “Now the real work begins,” emphasizing co-development, while Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty confirmed priority for projects involving Indigenous partnerships.
  • An Angus Reid Institute survey found 74% of Canadians support fast-tracking projects, though 49% oppose bypassing environmental reviews and 42% in Quebec reject overriding provincial laws.
  • The passing of Bill C-5 aims to unleash economic growth and build a stronger Canadian economy, but some, including Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, express doubts about the success of specific pipeline proposals.
