Next batch of national interest major projects to be released Thursday, Carney says
Prime Minister Mark Carney will unveil new projects to be fast-tracked by the Major Projects Office, aiming to boost economic growth amid U.S. trade tensions.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney will unveil the next tranche of major projects in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, after revealing the timing in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
- Following his election earlier this year, Prime Minister Mark Carney established the Major Projects Office, and the government says it aims to stimulate economic activity amid the ongoing U.S. tariff fight.
- Under the review process, the Major Projects Office reviews projects and returns recommendations to the federal government, which approved the first five projects announced two months ago in September.
- So far, no project has received the national interest designation, which would enable exemptions from certain environmental laws, and the Indigenous-proposed Ksi Lisims liquified natural gas project near Prince Rupert awaits federal approvals.
- Responding to critics, Carney said the Major Projects Office will maintain a 'living list' because `This is not a one and done,` he said in response to a question about why some provinces haven't had a project make the list yet.
