Incoming Alberta Premier Jason Kenney called the aforementioned Bill C-69 the “no more pipelines bill” and “a sucker punch to an already reeling Alberta economy.”
VICTORIA — The federal government makeover for environmental reviews of the country’s energy projects has been called a move to “swap one broken system for another,” by Alberta’s outgoing premier Rachel Notley.
“We have common objectives,” the endorsement continued. “Firstly, advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples; secondly, enhancing the public confidence in the assessment process; and lastly, ensuring that good projects move forward in a timely way while protecting the environment.” “Projects should be rewarded for creating good jobs for Canadians, which in turn help grow the provincial and federal economies and create resilient families and communities,” she argued during hearings in Ottawa earlier this year.
“There’s significant alignment in principle and process between the proposed impact assessment act and B.C.’s new Environmental Assessment Act, which just received royal assent in November 2018,” said Jardine. “B.C. remains the first and, to my knowledge, the only jurisdiction in Canada to have such an agreement,” said Jardine. “Of particular importance to B.C. is the retention of the option to have the federal process substituted for provincial process while retaining the separate decision-making processes.”
