Feds want pipeline projects reviewed by energy regulator instead of impact agency
- The federal government proposes that the Canada Energy Regulator review interprovincial pipelines, transmission lines, and offshore renewable energy projects instead of the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada.
- The proposal reverses a decision made eight years ago to have the Impact Assessment Agency as the centralized review body.

- The government plans to create a Crown consultation hub within the Impact Assessment Agency and aims to reduce review times for major projects to one year, down from the current two to five years.
