Major legislation promised as Commons returns from summer break
The bill would set a one-year approval target for major federal projects and add labour code changes, drawing concern from environmental groups and the NDP.
The government introduced its bill to accelerate natural resource development projects and review environmental assessments as soon as Members of Parliament return to the House of Commons on Monday. It will apply the "one project, one evaluation and one year before approval" principle already set out by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
