The decision on the CN Intermodal Hub has been delayed a second time.
Recently, the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) posted a notice on its website, indicating that the Governor in Council has extended the time for a decision on CN’s proposal by 30 days.
Halton Chair Gary Carr said that this extension is extremely frustrating for all parties involved who argued against the project.
“The harm to health cannot be denied so it is incomprehensible that [the] Federal Government has delayed their decision once again when they have all the information they need to refuse CN’s proposed project… The Halton Municipalities, along with our local MPs and MPPs are united in our position this is not the right location for this truck-rail hub. It is time for the Federal Government to step up and make the right decision to protect the health and safety of our community by not approving the proposed CN project.”
