A meeting in Saskatoon between Mark Carney and provincial leaders focuses on discussing national construction projects to boost Canada's economy. Emphasizing infrastructure like pipelines and economic corridors, the meeting aims at fast-tracking projects by easing regulations. Various provincial leaders presented proposals including economic corridors, mining, and pipelines, with the goal of improving domestic and international trade. Concerns about consent from Indigenous groups and interprovincial trade barriers were also highlighted.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney proposes a new, more flexible legislative process for approving national infrastructure projects, aiming to streamline decision-making and reduce interprovincial barriers. The legislation seeks to prioritize projects that boost internal trade, energy resource exploitation, and address U.S. economic threats. Carney's approach raises concerns about environmental standards and First Nations' involvement, with opposition from political parties like the Bloc Québécois regarding the potential environmental impacts of expedited projects.
