The Impact Assessment Act and Canadian Energy Regulator Act (French: Loi sur l’évaluation d’impact and Loi sur la Régie canadienne de l’énergie), also referred to as Bill C-69, are two acts of the Parliament of Canada passed together by the 42nd Canadian Parliament in 2019. The Acts gave authority to the federal government to consider how climate change might be impacted by proposed natural resource projects when undergoing federal approvals, while also being attentive to safeguarding market competitiveness.[11]
