The prime minister recommended an initial list of five projects in September that included expanding liquefied natural gas production in B.C., upgrading the Port of Montreal, a small modular reactor project in Ontario and new copper mines in the West.
Carney's budget, released last week, includes some $214 million over the next five years — plus about $10 million more for Indigenous consultation work — to fund the new office's approvals work.
The government's growth plan leans heavily on getting these mostly energy- and resources-related projects built quickly, with an eye on expanding Canada's markets beyond the increasingly protectionist U.S.
