The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada is now inviting the public and indigenous groups to comment further on the proposed CN Rail Logistics Hub in Milton.
CN spokesperson, Jonathan Abecassis, released this statement regarding the release of the draft conditions and the public comment period being overseen by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada:
“CN’s proposed Milton Logistics Hub is a critical investment in Canada’s economy. The Project will improve the fluidity and stability of Canada’s essential supply chain by adding greater capacity to the rapidly-growing Greater Toronto Hamilton Area. It is also important trade-enabling infrastructure, providing the much needed destination capacity to match the $450M of investments made by the current government under the National Trade Corridors Fund to increase capacity at the Port of Vancouver and the Port of Prince Rupert. CN has been consulting on this project since it was first announced in March of 2015, and we are continuing to meaningfully participate in this latest step of the review process. The company is pleased to have reached the stage of the release of the draft conditions and the associated public comment period, and is actively reviewing the draft conditions and will be providing its feedback to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada.”
