Marie Buchinski comments in Lexpert’s Special Edition—Canada’s Leading Energy Lawyers on Bill C-69. The proposed legislation would significantly revamp Canada’s environmental assessment processes.

Marie says that Bill 69 “has some real, significant implications for Canadian energy projects.” The impetus to create “a modern environmental and regulatory review process that [is] inclusive and open and that will get good resource projects built, is the tailwind driving the proposed legislation.” But she is concerned that the Bill “has the real potential to create regulatory headwinds for projects going through the development stage.”
