MAJOR PROJECTS OFFICE

BUILDING CANADA ACT

Notice — Mackenzie Valley Highway

In accordance with subsection 5(1.1) of the Building Canada Act (the Act), notice is hereby given that the Governor in Council may amend Schedule 1 of the Act to list the Mackenzie Valley Highway as a project of national interest. Concurrently, on behalf of the Governor in Council and as the Minister responsible under the Act, the President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada — the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc — will consult with the Government of the Northwest Territories, the territory in which the project would be situated.

This notice is given in addition to consultation with Indigenous rights-holders that is already underway.

The Act enables the government to streamline federal approval processes for projects determined to be in the national interest, helping such projects to move forward efficiently while protecting Canada’s environment and upholding the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

In deciding whether to list the project as a national interest project under the Act, the Governor in Council may consider any factor that the Governor in Council considers relevant, including the extent to which the project can

(a) strengthen Canada’s autonomy, resilience and security;
(b) provide economic or other benefits to Canada;
(c) have a high likelihood of successful execution;
(d) advance the interests of Indigenous Peoples; and
(e) contribute to clean growth and to meeting Canada’s objectives with respect to climate change.

Potential listing in Schedule I of the Building Canada Act

Project name

Mackenzie Valley Highway

Project description and location

The Mackenzie Valley Highway (MVH) is a proposed approximately 800 km four-season highway in the Northwest Territories. The highway would run the length of the Mackenzie River Valley, north of Wrigley, and pass near the communities of Tulita, Norman Wells and Fort Good Hope before connecting with the Dempster Highway, south of Inuvik. The project would also construct new bridges, including across the Great Bear River near Tulita, and across the Liard and Mackenzie rivers near Fort Simpson.

Once built, the MVH would provide year-round road access to currently isolated communities, increase regional trade and tourism, encourage new mineral and resource exploration and development, and support Arctic sovereignty and defence objectives.

The project is being advanced by the Government of the Northwest Territories as the proponent.

Project Name

Roberts Bank Terminal 2

Project description and location

Roberts Bank Terminal 2 is a proposed container terminal project that would increase the Port of Vancouver’s container capacity by approximately 50%. It is a key pillar under the Port of Vancouver Gateway Strategy that would support Canada’s growth and trade diversification objectives, including doubling exports to non-United States markets by 2035.

The project is being advanced by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, which is responsible for the shared stewardship of the lands and waters that make up the Port of Vancouver.

The project would be comprised of the following major components:

A marine terminal landmass and wharf structure to host the terminal (approximately 120 hectares);
A widened causeway for additional road and rail infrastructure (approximately 45 hectares);
An expanded tug basin to support marine operations (approximately 3 hectares); and
Buildings, rail, equipment, and other on-land infrastructure to enable container handling operations.
