Two months after passing significant projects legislation, the Canadian government announced five proposals for fast-tracking, including a liquefied natural gas terminal expansion and two critical mineral mining projects. The newly established major projects office will facilitate permitting and planning for these initiatives, which have previously faced regulatory hurdles.

Additional projects, such as a wind power initiative and a high-speed rail line, are also under consideration but are not yet ready for approval. Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized the importance of diversifying products and markets, enhancing economic independence, and aligning with climate goals.
