flag A proposed nickel mine in Ontario is under federal review for fast-tracked approval as a critical infrastructure project.

flag A proposed nickel mine in northern Ontario, the Crawford Nickel Project, is under federal review for potential inclusion in Prime Minister Mark Carney’s priority project list, which aims to fast-track approvals for critical infrastructure. flag The mine, near Timmins, could produce 240,000 tonnes of ore daily, operate for over 40 years, and create 1,000 direct and 3,000 indirect jobs. flag It has been in review for nearly three years and faces at least a year more under the Impact Assessment Act. flag The next round of projects, expected November 13 in Prince Rupert, B.C., will focus on transportation, electricity, critical minerals, and energy infrastructure. flag Projects deemed in the national interest may qualify for expedited approval under C-5 legislation and funding from agencies like the Canada Infrastructure Bank. flag Carney highlighted Canada’s clean electricity grid and expanding liquefied natural gas exports as key to its growing role as an energy superpower.
