TORONTO — Ontario has struck a deal with the federal government to proceed with the province’s Highway 413 project while working together to mitigate the effects on species at risk.
The province had accused Ottawa of overreach when it marked the planned highway for a federal review under the act and had asked the court to stop the federal government from applying the impugned legislation to the 413 project. The province’s Green Party issued a statement Monday night, saying they will continue to push to get the project quashed. Penned by Deputy Leader and MPP for Kitchener Centre, Aislinn Clancy, the release also calls on Premier Doug Ford to “abandon this environmental wrecking ball and start building homes Ontarians can afford in communities they already spend their time in.”
Guilbeault has previously said the top court’s decision left the Impact Assessment Act standing, but the government would work to tighten the parts the court found were too broad. He said that included powers the law gives the environment minister to designate projects for review under the act.
