TORONTO — Ontario hopes to begin building Highway 413 within a year, the province's transportation minister said Tuesday, after reaching an agreement with the federal government.
The federal government had marked the highway project for a federal review under its powers in the Impact Assessment Act.The province then took the federal government to court, asking the court to stop Ottawa from applying the impugned legislation to the 413 project, which ultimately led to the recent agreement.
The highway was first launched by the Liberals in 2007 and a long series of consultations and studies followed. Former Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne's government paused the environmental assessment in 2015 before killing the project in 2018. "When it comes to this government, Doug Ford and his government, you cannot trust them when it comes to the environment," said Marit Stiles, leader of the Official Opposition New Democrats.
