Statement

Sustainable environmental protections. We will establish one set of outcome-based rules, scaled to a project’s footprint and decided on published timelines. Where affected First Nations hold an ownership stake, their agreement will be on the record and the assessment will proceed on that basis.

Overview

Replace open-ended environmental review delays with proportionate regulatory tracks based on site disturbance footprint.
