François Poirier commends Government of Canada for moving with urgency to launch Major Projects Office
The creation of the Major Projects Office is another important step signaling that Canada wants to get projects built and Canadians working. This is an encouraging step forward and more needs to be done.
“I congratulate Dawn Farrell on her appointment as CEO of the Major Projects Office by Prime Minister Carney. Her experience and knowledge of our industry will be of tremendous benefit to the government’s objectives of enabling energy to strengthen our economic sovereignty and making Canada the strongest economy in the G7. I look forward to meeting with her at the soonest opportunity to learn more about how TC Energy can contribute and continue to connect the West and the East through our critical energy infrastructure, delivering the essential natural gas needed to power homes and businesses across Canada and the globe.
Canada faces a time-bound opportunity to strengthen its economic sovereignty, build its economy and re-establish its position in today’s competitive global landscape. Countries that move decisively to develop strategic infrastructure gain significant advantages. I believe the Major Projects Office has the potential to help Canada seize these opportunities if it delivers meaningful improvements to regulatory process certainty and efficiency.”
