Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging to create a “one and done” system for resource project approvals and rapidly approve 10 projects he says are stuck in the “slow federal approval process.”

Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson cautioned that Poilievre’s aim to get project approvals done in six to 12 months is too ambitious — and legally risky. That speed of approvals “is almost certainly a recipe for ending up in court on an ongoing basis,” he told Canada’s National Observer in a phone interview.

Trying to do Indigenous consultation on that tight timeline, particularly with communities that don’t have a lot of resources, will lead to challenged approvals for failing to sufficiently consult with Indigenous communities, Wilkinson said.
