- Canada is advancing 12 major infrastructure projects under the Major Project Office (MPO) in 2026, including a proposed privately financed bitumen pipeline to British Columbia.
- These projects are at early development stages and await designation as National Interest Projects (NIP).
- Stakeholders should proactively consider indirect tax implications, including GST/HST, QST, PST, co-ownership with Indigenous Peoples, and importation of complex equipment.
- The tax structure is complex, with GST/HST and QST being recoverable value-added taxes, while PST is a single-stage tax not generally recoverable, potentially leading to disputes over tax obligations among contractors and service providers.
