Quebec and Ottawa have joined forces to simplify the evaluation process for significant infrastructure and resource ventures.
During a collaborative statement released on Monday, Quebec Environment Minister Pascale Déry and Federal Minister and Quebec Liaison Joël Lightbound revealed that they had come to a preliminary agreement to reduce redundancies and expedite the evaluation procedure for prominent initiatives like mining projects.
A 21-day public review session is scheduled for this summer.
Lightbound emphasized the objective of finalizing this agreement within a month.
