Bill C-69

Bill C-69 is a Canadian law designed to change how major infrastructure projects are assessed for their environmental impact. Introduced in 2019, it aims to streamline the review process while ensuring that environmental, social, and economic factors are considered. The law established a new framework for assessing projects like pipelines and dams, including a focus on Indigenous consultation. While supporters argue it improves environmental protection, critics claim it could hinder development by adding complexity to the approval process. Overall, it seeks to balance environmental stewardship with the need for infrastructure development in Canada.
