Five Things to Know About the Liberals’ New Building Canada Strong Act
The Building Canada Strong Act would shift review duties for many large projects away from the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada.
- On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government tabled The Building Canada Strong Act in Ottawa to fast-track approvals for major infrastructure projects and strengthen Canada's economic competitiveness.
- The legislation transfers review responsibilities for pipelines and power lines from the Impact Assessment Agency to the Canada Energy Regulator, citing industry feedback about the Regulator's superior expertise on energy projects.
- Alongside project changes, the bill proposes amendments to the Canada Labour Code, a contentious part of law that allows the labour minister to end strikes to maintain "industrial peace."
- Opposition members quickly criticized the measures. NDP MP Don Davies stated, "I don't like the degree to which government is already interfering in collective bargaining," while Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet said workers "build this country and keep it moving."
- Government officials defend the act as essential for strengthening Canada, arguing it will create more good jobs, build stronger supply chains, and expand trade opportunities with the world.
