Regulatory and Permitting Efficiency for Clean Growth Projects

The Cabinet Directive on Regulatory and Permitting Efficiency for Clean Growth Projects focuses on the federal efforts needed to accelerate regulatory efficiency for clean growth projects. It is intended to help get clean growth projects built faster by accelerating decision‑making related to them.

The Cabinet Directive on Regulation sets out the Government of Canada’s expectations and requirements for the development, management and review of federal regulations. It incorporates the requirements of the Cabinet Directive on Regulatory and Permitting Efficiency for Clean Growth Projects.

As part of its role in supporting ministerial decision-making and oversight, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat reviews proposed orders‑in‑council and Governor in Council regulatory proposals, including those that would facilitate regulatory permitting, so that they can be considered by the Treasury Board.
