"For years, Electricity Canada has said that a key part of building things faster is having one place to obtain approvals. Large infrastructure takes years to build. The more delays there are getting multiple, overlapping, approvals for projects, the longer it will take to build. This is unacceptable as we expect Canada’s electricity needs to double in the next 25 years.
That’s why the government’s announcement today of a Major Federal Projects Office is welcome. This is an important first step in helping electricity companies to build infrastructure that will generate, transmit and distribute electricity to Canadian homes and businesses – and to build it faster."
– Francis Bradley, President and CEO, Electricity Canada
