Description
Prime Minister Mark Carney seems intent on building his political legacy around getting major development projects built — and establishing Canada as an energy superpower. His controversial Bill C-5 created a pathway for projects to avoid certain regulatory requirements, and he’s sent about a dozen proposals — in mining, energy, electricity and transportation — to the new Major Projects Office in hopes they can be sped along. So far, though, not one has been officially designated as a project in the “national interest,” and not one has been given any special ability to bypass regulatory hurdles. What’s really happening with these projects, and how is the Major Project Office actually involved? The Narwhal has been busy sorting hype from facts, and we’re thrilled to invite you to join the conversation. This online webinar will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 9 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. MT / 11 a.m CT / 12 p.m. ET. The panel discussion will include Ontario reporter Carl Meyer, Prairies reporter Drew Anderson and B.C. reporter Shannon Waters. Ontario reporter Fatima Syed will moderate the conversation.
