Why Canada's Major Projects Office hasn't delivered projects—yet

Andrew Lamb, partner at Gowling WLG's Calgary office, examines Canada's Major Projects Office seven months after its creation. He discusses why the office hasn't accelerated project approvals and compares Canada's regulatory challenges to those in the U.S. He also explores the tension between regulatory certainty and market forces, the likelihood of brownfield versus greenfield developments, and prospects for the federal-Alberta energy MOU amid ongoing negotiations over carbon pricing, carbon capture, and pipeline expansions.
