The Major Projects Office (MPO) is advancing nation-building projects faster and more responsibly to help connect our economy, diversify our industries and trade, and create high-paying careers for generations to come. Working alongside provincial, territorial and Indigenous partners, we are unlocking Canada’s economic potential, while respecting our environmental responsibilities and the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

How it works
Identifying nation-building projects
We work with proponents, federal departments, provinces and territories, Indigenous Peoples, and industry to help identify projects that offer the greatest benefits for Canadians.
Submitting project information
We accept proposals for major projects including ports, railways, energy corridors, critical mineral developments, and clean energy initiatives, among others, to be considered as national-building major projects.
Evaluating projects
We assess projects against the five factors outlined in the
Building Canada Act
, among others, and provide recommendations and advice to federal ministers and the Prime Minister.
MPO
supports
We provide varied support to projects based on the project type, status and unique requirements.
Projects designated under the
Building Canada Act
In addition to other support, the
Building Canada Act
is one tool we may recommend for projects that would benefit from regulatory streamlining.
Designation under the
Building Canada Act
will help advance select major projects deemed to be of national interest by conditionally approving them to further streamline federal review and approval processes.
