Building lasting prosperity for generations
Advancing nation building projects
We advance major projects referred to the Office through a streamlined federal review process, working in partnership with federal departments, provinces, territories, Indigenous Peoples and private-sector participants.
Partnering with Indigenous Peoples
We consult and partner with Indigenous Peoples and governments on all major projects, ensuring their voices are heard and their concerns are addressed.

We offer a single point of contact to help proponents navigate federal assessments and permitting, resolve policy challenges, and structure financing to advance projects more efficiently.

If the project is referred to the MPO, our team coordinates with federal departments, Indigenous partners, and stakeholders, closes regulatory and permitting gaps, and ensures financing plans can be achieved.
