What are the 3 projects Ottawa wants fast-tracked? | Power & Politics

The Canadian federal government has announced plans to fast-track three major northern infrastructure projects—the Mackenzie Valley Highway, Grays Bay Road and Port, and a deep geological nuclear waste repository—through the Major Projects Office under the Build Canada Act, which streamlines approval processes while maintaining legal obligations for Indigenous consultation and environmental assessments; these projects aim to enhance Arctic sovereignty, support economic development through mineral access, and improve quality of life for northern communities, though they face ongoing concerns about environmental standards and consultation processes from Indigenous groups.
