What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Dryden is appealing to the Major Projects Office to prevent the fast-tracking of the proposed deep geological repository (DGR) in northwestern Ontario. The city is asking the Major Projects Office not to designate the $26-billion project as one of national interest. The federal government had previously announced the possible designation for the project in June, with formal notice published in the Canada Gazette on September 19.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The appeal challenges the federal government's plan to streamline approvals for the DGR under the Building Canada Act. Projects deemed of national interest may receive accelerated federal approvals. Jack Harrison, mayor of Dryden, stated that the city wants assurances that potential impacts of the project will be addressed before it moves forward at an accelerated rate.
