Description

A new agreement between Ottawa and Ontario to streamline the approval process for major infrastructure projects, including mining in the Ring of Fire region, about 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay. The agreement aims to reduce regulatory burden by implementing a one-project, one-review, and one-decision approach, allowing for faster environmental assessments and Indigenous consultations. The federal Impact Assessment Agency of Canada expects to complete reviews of segments of the proposed Ring of Fire road by June 2026, enabling preliminary work to start earlier than expected.
