The Green Party of British Columbia says it will not support the B.C. NDP government’s proposed bill to fast-track the construction of critical infrastructure, including resource development projects.
Premier David Eby’s government has proposed the Infrastructure Projects Act, also known as Bill 15, after pledging in February to fast-track projects that would reduce reliance on the U.S. in the face of ongoing tariffs.
The B.C. Greens are now warning that the bill gives cabinet excessive authority to bypass environmental reviews, local governments and Indigenous decision-makers.
