Major projects bill moving ahead despite pushback from Indigenous groups, MP – CTV News
June 18, 2025
OTTAWA — A House of Commons committee is scheduled to sit until midnight Wednesday as MPs study legislation that would give the government sweeping powers to drive forward major projects.
It appears Bill C-5 will be pushed through the House this week with the support of both Liberal and Conservative MPs, despite warnings from environmental and Indigenous groups.
The legislation would allow the federal government to designate projects in the “national interest” and fast-track them by granting approvals within two years.
