Ottawa is proposing major changes to speed up approvals for pipelines, energy and large resource projects across Canada.

The federal government says it wants to complete project review processes within a 1-year timeline by streamlining environmental assessments and reducing regulatory delays. The government will now launch a 30-day consultation before introducing legislation.

Supporters say the move could boost investment and economic growth, while critics are expected to raise concerns about environmental oversight.
