Carney Government Fast-Tracks Northern Highway and Port Projects Using New Powers Before July 1

Summary
Canada is preparing to accelerate northern highway and port projects in the first use of new federal powers to shorten regulatory reviews.
The move will serve as an early test of a legal process designed to speed major infrastructure approvals.
That process is also expected to be used on Alberta's proposed new oil pipeline, which is slated to be formally unveiled by July 1.
The northern projects therefore set the template for how Carney's government may handle faster approvals for larger, more politically sensitive developments.
