After much anticipation, Ottawa will unveil on Thursday its list of major projects deemed in the national interest.
“Tomorrow, we’ll announce the first tranche, the first batch of these projects. Projects that will increase Canada’s independence, boost our economy, align with the interests of Indigenous peoples and advance our climate goals,” said Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday.
Carney has sought pitches from the provinces – for energy and infrastructure builds – that would help the country face the economic headwinds of its U.S. trade war and which will be streamlined in environment, Indigenous and regulatory approvals, plus likely receive federal funding.
