Grands projets d’infrastructure : C-5 devient loi
AI Article Summary

The Canadian Senate has passed Bill C-5, aimed at accelerating major infrastructure projects, which has now become law. Introduced by Prime Minister Mark Carney, the bill has faced criticism from environmental groups and Indigenous leaders for bypassing certain laws and potentially approving controversial projects like pipelines. Some senators supported the bill reluctantly, without amendments, and the law facilitates economic linkages across provinces amidst trade tensions with the U.S. The decision has sparked criticism from environmentalists and calls for protest against what they see as an undemocratic drift.
