On Good Friday, 35,000 Canada Revenue Agency workers voted in favour of a strike action.
"The record-setting temperatures over the last few days have triggered a rapid melt of this snow, leading to rising water levels and increased flow in tributaries and on the main stem of the Ottawa River downstream of Fort Coulonge," the board said. The Transportation Committee will meet on Monday to approve the policies and direct staff to advance the Transportation Master Plan.
Part 2 involves developing the Capital Infrastructure Plan for transportation, and will include public consultations.
