Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he would establish certain zones that would have pre-approved permits for major construction and energy projects, in a bid to accelerate the development of key infrastructure and industries.
“After years of uncertainty where businesses spent billions of dollars and many years getting to a ‘maybe,’ they will know that they have a ‘yes’ up front,” Poilievre said during a March 20 stop in Jonquière, in Quebec’s Saguenay region.
