Bill C-5 is now law after the Senate passed the bill without any changes.

The legislation allows cabinet to conditionally approve projects it deems “in the national interest” before regulatory processes take place.

The projects that will be fast-tracked under the new law have not yet been chosen.

Environmental groups quickly condemned the passage of the controversial major projects bill.

Bill C-5 is “overcorrecting in expediting mega projects that may not be of local interest, even if they are of national interest,” says Sen. Paula Simons .

A briefing prepared by West Coast Environmental Law warned that bad impact assessments lead to major problems, like the collapse of the Mount Polley tailings dam in 2014 .

A strong impact assessment can have positive impacts.
