The government has made a major regulatory amendment to ease the construction of pipelines, bitument projects, energy transmission, and offshore renewables. A number of activities have been removed from the regulatory umbrella of the Impact Assessment Act (Bill C-69), and will be left to only a single level of review either provincially or under the Canadian Energy Regulator Act. This means no dual assessment for these projects and functionally removes C-69 from play for these works. This is a big deal.
Britain could and should be self-sufficient if they weren't so bloody stupid re: energy. As for Poland, great news so when is the pipeline going to be announced serving Churchill? Or will the North Atlantic discoveries be able to cover the market?

I expect that Manitoba will have their chance to 'sell' Churchill on the world stage come 14/15 September in Toronto.
This will be their best shot to impress the movers and shakers of the big institutional money managers to make Churchill hit the big leagues. If they can show them the business case, it will happen. If they can't, I don't see Churchill moving forward.

Thanks for the update Brihard. That is good news...now here's hoping they also look at other duplications on projects such as DFO and First Nation Consultation processes that are also a big challenge.
Doesn't help the Federal government has a different list of recognized First Nation/Metis interests than the provinces.

Fed Nav's Umiak 1 working into Voisey Bay.
FedNav is working with the Arctic Gateway Group and prepared one of the reports on Churchill navigation
Umiak 1 is a DNV ICE-15, PC4 vessel.
Year-Round Shipping from Port of Churchill Focus of New Agreement Between Arctic Gateway Group and Fednav Limited — Arctic Gateway Group
Fednav brings decades of Arctic marine experience to inform sustainable year-round shipping from the Port of Churchill

As important as FedNav's experience with the ice is its experience with the Inuit.
As noted previously the Nunavut settlement effectively turned Hudson Bay into an Inuit lake, all the way down to James Bay.

Done right this becomes the ultimate free market expression.
The investors know the plays and they know the risks, including our national political risks.
Any projects that accumulate investors given our existing rule book will be investing having been fairly warned.
On the other hand, if no projects are funded then our governments and activists will have to have a rethink.

Who doesn’t want to live with polar bears?
Does it really matter when there are people in place that do live with polar bears?

We used to combine reviews with the BC government review process when we operated under CEAA, there were a few pieces that we had to do separately to meet legal requirements, but the goal was to remove any duplicate work for the agencies, proponent and stakeholders/FN's. Generally successful in this.
Harper does not get much credit from the Greenies, but one thing he did that I liked was to make CEAA mitigations legally enforceable and create an enforcement branch within the CEAA agency. Prior to this, I used to call them the "Teflon department" because no post review work stuck to them and they vanished after the review was done. Whereas as a Department issuing an approval, we were involved from the inception to decommissioning of a project.

You keep saying things like this, but the reality is, the people required to run a year-round port, and all of it's attendant facilities likely don't live there already... Why would they, with no employment in their highly specialized fields, and with their years of experience...
So yes, getting people who are willing to live with/around polar bears matters. It matters a lot, because, I'm not sure you're tracking, but polar bears aren't like black bears. They aren't like brown bears either... Both of which keep people from lots of parts of Canada on the regular.

I'm not suggesting Churchill is impossible to staff with workers, I'm simply suggesting that hand waving away personnel issues, and more importantly family issues is a bad idea. If we want Churchill to be a year-round port, we need year-round services. Year-round services generally mean families... Families don't like their kids being eaten on the walk to sschool...
Polar bears aren't other bears. They are truly "monsters" in the way our ancestors imagined them.
