Prime Minister Mark Carney announced five infrastructure projects, but they are largely existing initiatives hindered by regulatory delays. The new Major Projects Office and Indigenous Advisory Council will add layers of scrutiny and align with climate goals, raising concerns about increased red tape.

While Carney referenced past rapid construction successes, critics argue that current policies have stifled investment and growth. Notably absent from the proposals are significant projects like pipelines, which are vital to Canada's economy, particularly in the oil and gas sector.
