Prime Minister Mark Carney stated the second batch of major projects the government is submitting for fast-track approval are “transformational,” part of the larger national strategy to boost Canada’s competitiveness on the world stage.
Included are the Ksi Lisims liquified natural gas project in northern B-C, and the North Coast Transmission Line, a 450-kilometre-long hydro line between Prince George and Terrace.
The projects have been submitted to the new Major Projects Office.
They will be reviewed and returned with recommendations to the government, which has the final say on whether to give it the national interest designation that would speed up its approval.
