WATCH: Environment and Climate Change Minister Steven Guilbeault tells reporters about conditions put on the Bay du Nord project: Environment minister approves controversial Bay du Nord project Duration 1:48 Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says he's approved the project on the condition that it reaches net-zero by 2050. Guilbeault insisted that Bay du Nord will operate only with a host of conditions — 137 of them, including one that the project be net-zero on emissions by 2050. It's small wonder the Trudeau government was trying to figure out a decision on Bay du Nord, and then how to play its cards before the public.
