The Building Canada Act (BCA) is changing how the federal government approaches the review and approval of major projects in Canada.
But what does that mean in practice, and what could it mean for Indigenous Nations?
Follow along here for our weekly information series brought to you by SVS's Regulatory Strategy and Community Partnerships Team.
The goal of this series is simple: to help Indigenous Nations and others understand what is changing, what questions remain, and what to watch as the new process develops.
What will we cover each week?
Week 1: What is the Building Canada Act?
Week 2: How are projects designated?
Week 3: What does a proponent need to do?
Week 4: How will projects be reviewed?
Week 5: What happens to environmental standards?
Week 6: What does the BCA mean for Indigenous Peoples and Section 35 rights?
Week 7: How will federal and provincial processes work together?
Following the series, SVS will host a webinar to bring these topics together and provide an opportunity to discuss how your Nation can prepare. Stay tuned for details on how to sign up for the webinar.
