Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson says he’s “hopeful” that the government will start announcing major infrastructure project approvals in the fall.
In an interview with The Canadian Press, Hodgson says the federal government has been busy consulting with stakeholders over the summer and has been quietly getting a new major projects office set up to deal with companies hoping to build large-scale projects.
