The Real Clock
Big projects need clear rules and a fair clock. See when each review began, what happened and what is still missing.
This first set has six projects in four provinces. It is a chosen sample, not a score for Canada.
This is a dated check, not a live feed. Listing a project does not mean we support it.
Days on the calendar
Calendar days include work by the applicant. They are not all days of government review. No late-or-on-time claim.

We count from the start date on the federal record. The start day is not counted. The end day is counted. For an open review, we stop at the check date.

The Real Clock
What we want
Make every stage clear. Say who must act next. Explain each pause. Keep strong rules for harm and rights.
Read our case for a clear clock ↗- Publish one clear record for each project.
- Show who must act next and by when.
- List each pause, its reason and who asked for it.
- Publish decisions and reasons on time. Keep public input and Indigenous rights.
How we count
- We use the federal registry start date, not the first idea for a project. Earlier files may exist.
- We stop at the first decision or the end of the review. Later changes get their own events.
- We show the law used for each review. An older law cannot be judged by today’s rules.
- A long wait is not proof of agency delay. The applicant may still be doing studies.
- We do not add the phase clocks. Their rules, start points and pauses may differ.
- We have not priced the cost of delay. These six cases cannot show the share of all projects that are late.
We do not apply one two-year promise to all these projects. Listing a project does not mean we support it.
