Grands projets | Danielle Smith veut des approbations plus rapides
AI Article Summary
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith urges the federal government to expedite major project approvals, aiming for a six-month timeframe. Her request is driven by increased competition from the United States which is ramping up Venezuelan oil production. A pipeline project to the west coast is proposed to counter this competition. The shifting global energy market demands swift decisions to prevent loss of market share.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project demonstrates how faster approvals could shorten construction timelines, which is crucial in the face of international competition. For builders in Quebec, this means a potential increase in pipeline opportunities, though financing and supply chain management must be carefully managed to avoid cost overruns. Such a policy could also impact the availability of skilled labor, as projects might start more quickly.
