Since then, the opposition has criticized him for not using the government’s new powers.The only project Ottawa has signalled an intent to designate is a prospective oil pipeline to the West Coast as part of an energy deal with Alberta.The federal government committed in a memorandum of understanding in November to designate a pipeline as in the national interest. No such project has been submitted for consideration to the major projects office. The deal set a deadline of July 1 to submit an application.Energy Minister Tim Hodgson is also set to be at the Yellowknife announcement.The sources said he’s expected to announce an update on a deep geological repository for Canada’s nuclear waste.In November 2024, the Township of Ignace and Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation area in northwestern Ontario were selected as locations for the repository.Nick Murray, The Canadian Press","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.45.2","shortVersion":"4.45.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2645960868","isCrawlerRequest":true}
