Far from cutting red tape, B.C. NDP fast-tracking law hands big powers to cabinet

Summary

Nutrition label

68% Informative

Bill 14 , the Renewable Energy Projects (Streamlined Permitting) Act consolidates oversight under the B.C. Energy Regulator for nine wind projects and a new electrical transmission line.

Bill 15 , the Infrastructure Projects Act , allows a minister and the cabinet to designate a broad range of public and private sector projects as worthy of jumping the regulatory queue.

Only one existing piece of legislation is repealed: the Significant Projects Streamlining Act .

The New Democrats will assess applications for regulatory relief on a case-by-case basis, moving favoured ones to the front of the line and relegating others to the back of the regulatory pack.

The old way was the slow way. But at least project proponents could read the legislation and the guidelines and know what they had to navigate with the independent regulator.
