AI Article Summary

The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the appointment of Dawn Farrell as the CEO of the newly established Bureau of Major Projects, based in Calgary. This office aims to expedite regulatory approvals and coordinate funding for national projects like ports, railways, and energy corridors. The initiative follows the recent passage of a law to speed up national projects by bypassing certain environmental regulations, raising concerns among indigenous groups. The initial projects include the expansion of Montreal's port and new facilities in Churchill, Manitoba.
