Dawn Farrell, handpicked by the Liberals to run Canada’s #MajorProjectsOffice, was asked if the Trans Mountain #oilpipeline helps fight #climatechange. “Yes,” she said, emphatically.

The #BuildCanadaStrong agenda is being driven by the Calgary-based #MajorProjectsOffice, or MPO.

Its mandate is to slash approval timelines for #nation-building projects to just two years, creating a direct conflict with its duty to ensure rigorous #EnvironmentalProtection.

The government's response was the "Build Canada Strong" doctrine, a new agenda of economic nationalism.

Its legislative core, the #OneCanadianEconomyAct, created the #MajorProjectsOffice (MPO) to fast-track #resource and #infrastructure projects deemed in the "national interest."
