Ottawa and New Brunswick have signed an agreement to speed up environmental impact assessments for major projects in the province by only requiring a single review.
The new agreement allows Ottawa and New Brunswick to implement a “one project, one review” approach for all major projects in the province of New Brunswick that require a federal and provincial assessment, the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada said in a Dec. 16 news release. The measure aims to create predictability and help catalyze investment.
