AI Article Summary

The Federal Government's new Major Projects Office in Calgary will integrate the Clean Growth Bureau, established in Ottawa last year. Led by Dawn Farrell, the new office will streamline approval processes to expedite major infrastructure projects across Canada, aiming to reduce approval times from five to two years for national interest projects. The 'one project, one assessment' approach is intended to attract investors and enhance regulatory efficiency.

What This Means for Canadian Contractors

This project demonstrates how the government is aiming to reduce approval times for infrastructure projects, potentially speeding up construction timelines for contractors. For Quebec builders, this means potentially quicker access to permits due to streamlined bureaucratic processes. Additionally, simplifying regulations can increase cost predictability and supply chain reliability.
