Canada’s ability to expand and diversify international trade hinges on significant investments in energy and infrastructure projects in the near future. To that end, both federal and provincial governments have committed to fast tracking significant nation-building projects.

Explore the opportunities, challenges, various perspectives (including Indigenous), and potential legal pitfalls (including litigation risks and regulatory quandaries) associated with recent legislative and policy initiatives designed to expedite the development of major projects such as ports, mines and energy projects. The summit will also explore other recent developments of interest to legal practitioners in the environmental, energy and resources law space both across Canada and internationally.
