Major Resource Projects in Canada

September 2013

Acknowledgements
The Major Projects Management Office Initiative was established by the Government of Canada in order to improve the performance of the regulatory system for major resource projects by creating a more efficient, effective, predictable, accountable, and transparent regulatory review process. The Initiative is a collaborative effort among key departments and agencies that are responsible for the regulatory review of major resource projects. These departments and agencies include: Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) Environment Canada (EC) National Energy Board (NEB) Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) Transport Canada (TC) Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor) Justice Canada (DOJ) Privy Council Office (PCO)

Major Resource Projects in Canada

Projects Overview
The federal regulatory review process can be described as occurring in 3 key phases: 1) The Pre-Environmental Assessment (Pre-EA) Phase commences with the formal submission of a Project Description by a Proponent. 2) The Environmental Assessment (EA) Phase begins with the posting of a Notice of Commencement of an Environmental Assessment on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry Internet Site. 3) The Regulatory Decision-Making (Reg) Phase commences once a federal department or agency receives adequate information that a proposed project will likely require a regulatory decision. As of September 30, 2013, the Major Projects Management Office (MPMO) was responsible for managing federal regulatory reviews for 76 active major resource project proposals (see fig. 1).

63 projects

11 projects

In addition, twelve projects for which the reviews have been completed are also included in this report. Three of these continue to be subject to a follow-up program pursuant to the former Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA), and are thus still being tracked under the MPMO Initiative. The MPMO is also engaged in providing advice and guidance on many projects where a formal project proposal has not yet been submitted by the Proponent or that do not require a federal EA. It is important to note that the phases outlined above are described as being separate and distinct in order to provide a clear means of reporting on the status and progress of each project. However, on a project-by-project basis, certain activities or processes can occur simultaneously between phases.

Projects by Province Major resource projects are undergoing federal reviews in all regions across Canada representing over $231.1 billion in capital investment and over 100 000 jobs. 55% of MPMO projects are located in western provinces; the remaining 45% are located in eastern provinces (see Fig. 2).

Pipelines Oil and Gas Transmission Wind Power Hydro Nuclear Minerals & Metals

Investment by Province Currently, western provinces account for 75% of projected capital investment; eastern provinces account for the remaining 25% (see Fig. 3). This is in large part due to the high capital investment required for oil and gas projects, which have an average investment of $16.1 billion per project. Thirty six percent, or approximately $83.2 billion, of the projected capital investment for major resource projects is in British Columbia. Alberta follows closely with approximately $74.2 billion in projected capital investment. Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador follow with approximately $24.4 billion and $21.2 billion respectively.

Projects by Sector The mining sector accounts for 69% of all MPMO proposals in Canada 53 proposed projects (see Fig. 4). The energy sector accounts for the other 31% of MPMO projects. More than half of these are related to oil and gas development 7 oil and gas production proposals and 8 pipeline proposals. The remaining projects are related to electricity production 1 wind power proposal, 2 nuclear project proposals1, 4 hydroelectricity proposals, and 2 electricity transmission proposals.

Figure 4: Proportion of Projects by Sector

Investment by Sector The disclosed capital investment for MPMO projects is more than $231.1 billion (see Fig. 5). Although the energy sector accounts for 31% of MPMO projects, this sector accounts for 78%, or approximately $183.9 billion of the overall projected investment. The mining sector accounts for the remaining $47.2 billion in projected investment. These projects account for 22% of total projected investment; whereas they represent 69% of the total number of major resource projects.
