Howe Institute\u00a0says Bill C-69 \u2013 aimed at revamping the approval process for the natural resources sector \u2013 will further depress a sector that struggled for investment in 2018. Projects will be delayed and exposed needlessly to political risk.<\/p>\n<p>Between 2017 and 2018, the planned investment value of major resource projects fell $100 billion, according to the Institute. The plunge is equivalent to 4.5% of Canada\u2019s gross domestic product.<\/p>\n<p>The new report has several recommendations for the federal government:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Specify clear criteria for assessing projects that can be applied in a consistent and timely manner.<\/li>\n<li>Preserve the role of \u201clifecycle\u201d regulators (i.e., the National Energy Board\/Canadian Energy Regulator and Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission) in leading assessments.<\/li>\n<li>Require a project\u2019s adverse effects be found \u201csignificant\u201d before involving political decision makers.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure review panels can focus on relevant submissions by maintaining an appropriate standard for participation in hearings.<\/li>\n<li>Update guidance for federal officials to ensure consistent consultation of Indigenous peoples \u2013 that satisfies the past decade of case law on the duty to consult.<\/li>\n<li>Compile and annually report on timelines for federal environmental assessments across major projects in Canada compared to other countries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Details are available in the 48-page report, \u201cA Crisis of Our Own Making: Prospects for Major Natural Resource Projects in Canada,\u201d co-authored by Grant Bishop and Grant Sprague and available to download by\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdhowe.org\/public-policy-research\/crisis-our-own-making-prospects-major-natural-resource-projects-canada\">clicking here<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This story first appeared in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianminingjournal.com\/news\/oilsands-devon-energy-pulling-out-of-canada\/\">Canadian Mining Journal.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mining.com\/bill-c-69-cd-howe-calls-changes-flawed-legislation\/\">BILL C-69: CD Howe calls for changes to \u2018flawed\u2019 legislation<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mining.com\/\">MINING.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The&nbsp;C.D.
