Impact Assessment Act and Canadian Energy Regulator Act

[14][15] C-69 was heavily criticized by Conservatives and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, who feared that the new regulations would stifle investments to natural resources extraction in Canada.[17] The Post said that natural resources sector and some provinces had fiercely opposed the bills for over a year before its passage.Winfred points out that the pre-2019 regulatory framework is much weaker than the one that existed for 40 years in Canada before it was axed in 2012.C-69 brought back some of the consultation requirements from that period, and according to Winfield, "the legislation is a relatively minor adjustment to what already existed".[11] The lawsuit claims the bill is federal overreach in provincial jurisdictions and has a negative effect on future major oil and gas projects.
