Canada’s new government is delivering on its mandate to empower Canadians by building Canada’s economic strength. This is how we will create greater certainty, security, and prosperity for Canadians – how we will create the economic opportunities that help Canadians get ahead.

We advanced the first wave of nation-building projects by referring them to the Major Projects Office – accelerating approvals. These projects span liquified natural gas, nuclear power, mining, and critical minerals – sectors that are central to Canada’s economic future.

These projects are:

  • LNG Canada Phase II, Northwestern British Columbia
  • Darlington New Nuclear Project, Southwestern Ontario
  • Le terminal de Contrecoeur, Southern Quebec
  • McIlvenna Bay Foran Copper Mine, East-Central Saskatchewan
  • Red Chris Copper and Gold Mine, Northwestern British Columbia

Combined, these five projects represent investments of over $60 billion for the Canadian economy and create thousands of high paying careers for Canadian workers.

In addition to these five projects, Canada’s new government also believes that there are several strategies for projects that could be truly transformative for this country, which are at an earlier stage and require further development:

  • Critical Minerals Strategy
  • Wind West Atlantic Energy
  • Pathways Plus
  • Arctic Economic and Security Corridor
  • Port of Churchill Plus
  • Alto-High Speed Rail

The Office will work with private-sector proponents, provinces, territories and Indigenous Peoples to advance these concepts so that projects have certainty. The Office will then recommend to the federal government the best course to complete each project approval quickly, so proponents can make smart investment decisions.

We expect a second tranche of projects will be announced before the Grey Cup

Canada’s new government is getting big things built – faster – driving prosperity for every Canadian.
