British Columbia Cutting Regulatory Red Tape

摘要

Rich Coleman, British Columbia Minister of Energy, Mines, and Natural Gas, announced in late January 2013 a package of regulatory changes designed to cut red tape and make exploration and mining more efficient in the province. The package includes: A new policy allowing companies to apply for Multi-Year Area-Based permits, so a company can avoid having to apply for multiple permits when working in the same exploration area. Beginning in February 2014, the British Columbia provincial government will shift to a new electronic application system for natural resource-related projects. The first electronic application to be added will be a Notice of Work application.
