In this episode of Clean Incentives, Brendan Sigalet is joined by Martin Ignasiak, KC (Regulatory Partner, Bennett Jones) for a candid discussion on the newly enacted One Canadian Economy Bill (Bill C-5), with a focus on The Building Canada Act and its implications for energy and mining project approvals.
With Canada’s clean economy tax credits (like the CCUS, Clean Tech and Clean Hydrogen ITCs) in various stages of enactment and regulatory hurdles still widespread, this episode explores:
- The current status of clean economy ITCs post-election
- How Bill C-5 aims to “cut through the red tape” for nationally significant projects
- Why The Building Canada Act may only benefit a narrow subset of developers
- The constitutional challenges facing the federal Impact Assessment Act
- What business leaders and investors should watch for in the months ahead
