It would be nice to have that kind of [s] job [s/] security.

Since an APP has to be a CPP equivalent, I’m assuming we’d have to pay into an APP2 to remain equal to the new CPP2 bullshit for 2024?

If we leave CPP, do I get my contributions back?

OTTAWA, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Canada's Supreme Court on Friday ruled a federal law assessing how major infrastructure projects like coal mines and oil sands plants impact the environment is largely unconstitutional, in a blow to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government.

The decision is a victory for Alberta, Canada's main fossil fuel-producing province, which opposed the Impact Assessment Act (IAA), formerly known as Bill C-69, on the grounds it gave the federal government too much power to kill natural resource projects.

The Supreme Court said the federal government had over-reached its authority by making the scope of its environmental assessment process too broad and including, or "designating," major projects that typically fall under provincial jurisdiction.

"In my view, Parliament has plainly overstepped its constitutional competence in enacting this designated projects scheme," Chief Justice Richard Wagner wrote in the 5-2 majority ruling.

In Canada natural resources projects like oil sands plants and coal are assessed by provinces, while transport and communications projects that cross provincial boundaries, like railways or pipelines, are federal.

That is huge considering most judges are from Ontario and Quebec.

Rich people would like the CAD$ to still be worth something when they retire.

kert?

"The importance of the case is reflected by the near-record 29 intervenors participating, including seven provinces. Quebec and Ontario were among those who opposed the law. The majority in the Alberta Court of Appeal ruling called the Impact Assessment Act an “existential threat. . . to Canada itself.” Dissenting, Justice Sheila Greckol wrote: “Our planet is on fire, and we need water – not heat.”"

Hysteria invades everywhere.

'the federal government will contribute $1.00 to all future projects such that they fall under IAA'

The "respect" of Indigenous will have a huge price tag. But at least C69 is out of the way.

New Bill C69 coming - tranny rights bill.

I don't think that's the outcome. A revised bill will be coming asap, AND, the environment that spawned the previous megaprojects is not the current commercial reality anymore.

Mid-sized projects, now those at least have a chance.

[suntan]

The decision basically obliterates the bill. Not sure what they're going to revise that gives the feds power into provincial projects.

Note that the legislation was so flawed even Quebec objected to it.
