The petition is concerned with the timeliness of environmental assessments for the following projects that aim to expand Ontario Highway 69 to a four-lane divided highway: Project 2 (Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry, reference number 65415) and Project 3 (Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry, reference number 65417).
The petition seeks clarification on the federal department that is the responsible authority for these projects and on the official point of contact who could respond to inquiries about project delays. The petition asks why this information is not available on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry website. In addition, the petition seeks information on the specific issues and studies that need be resolved or completed in order for the federal government to fulfill its responsibilities under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012.
