To achieve that goal, the government is now proposing some major changes to regulations and environmental assessments. There would be earlier and more co-ordinated consultation with Indigenous Canadians; one federal project decision, rather than multiple from different departments; approval authority for pipelines and nuclear projects would transfer from the Impact Assessment Agency to the Canada Energy Regulator and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission respectively; the government would create “federal economic zones” for transportation corridors and telecom networks, to ease the permitting process; and it would streamline the regulatory environment by being more flexible, about for example allowing early construction activity before an impact decision is made.
