Engagement process
Phase 1: Provincially Significant Projects
July 10, 2025 to September 30, 2025
Engagement has concluded. If you’re interested, you can read the background information.
People were asked to share ideas about how Provincially Significant projects are chosen. They also gave feedback on the tools in the Act, which apply to both Provincial Capital and Provincially Significant projects.
We’ve prepared some helpful background information:
- Information about the legislation (Infrastructure Projects Act)
- The tools enabled through the Act
- The possible eligibility requirements for designation of Provincially Significant projects
From July to September, we offered small group discussions on this topic. Find out how to share your feedback.
Phase 2: Qualified Professional Reliance Model
July 31, 2025 to November 28, 2025
To learn more about the Qualified Professional Reliance Model, you can read the background information: Proposed Qualified Professional Reliance Model.
From July to October we offered small group discussions and a technical questionnaire on this topic. Find out how to share your feedback.
Phase 3: Expedited environmental assessment process
March 2026 to April 2026
The Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) is leading engagement on a faster environmental assessment process. This work focuses on major projects designated under the Infrastructure Projects Act as provincially significant or as designated provincial capital projects.
