Making Canada a place to invest and build

Today’s announcement marks an important step in changing how Canada advances major projects that strengthen our economy and long-term competitiveness. At a time when Canada’s economic sovereignty is increasingly tied to our ability to build, the country must use every policy lever available to unlock investment and develop the infrastructure and industries that will underpin future growth.

We welcome the government’s decision to begin putting its new authorities into practice and demonstrate that projects of national importance can move forward more quickly.

The next step is to extend that same certainty and predictability more broadly to private-sector investments that will ultimately drive Canada’s long-term growth.

We look forward to continuing to work with the government as it advances reforms needed to make Canada one of the world’s best places to invest and build.
