New Canadian Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson vowed on Friday to cut back a lengthy approval process that means major projects can often take many years to be given the green light.
“In the new economy we are building, Canada will no longer be defined by delay, we will be defined by delivery,” he told a business audience in an early morning speech to the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.
“We will identify and fast track projects of national interest — no more five-year reviews — decisions will come in two years for all projects to make that happen,” Hodgson said.
