One-Year Approval Cap Sends Resource Stocks Higher

Canada’s federal government has launched consultations on major project regulatory reforms, proposing a one-year approval cap for mining and infrastructure projects. The move aims to unlock Canada’s resource wealth and reduce reliance on the US market, with the government also introducing measures to enhance Indigenous participation and support economic development. According to the proposal, the reforms could unlock a C$126 billion pipeline of projects and support over 60,000 high-paying jobs, as reported by Unknown Source.
