BC tables new legislation it says will deliver key infrastructure faster
AI Article Summary

The Government of British Columbia has introduced the Infrastructure Projects Act to expedite the construction of major infrastructure projects, such as schools and hospitals, by improving permitting and approval processes. The legislation aims to create jobs and support economic growth amid uncertainties like international trade tariffs. It empowers a new Ministry of Infrastructure to streamline project delivery and coordinate with various entities. However, some industry groups criticize the act for not addressing broader issues across all construction sectors.
