Quebec Premier François Legault says his government will table new legislation to speed up environmental approvals, modelled on the federal major projects law.
Legault said the planned Quebec legislation is known internally as "Q-5," a reference to the federal law.
The Quebec premier has recently suggested that his government could "take a pause" on certain environmental policies, however.
In another interview with Radio-Canada earlier this month, he claimed Quebec "cannot be the only state in North America making an effort" to fight climate change.
According to poll aggregator Qc125.com, the party could lose all of its 83 seats if an election were held today.
