The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada has released a draft report of its analysis of the Montreal Port Authority’s (MPA) proposed Contrecoeur container terminal project. In planning for more than 30 years, the expansion of the port in Contrecoeur, Quebec, is now needed because Canadian importers and exporters continue to increase their activity in Quebec and Ontario. The MPA will proceed with the report’s analysis and reiterate its commitment to implement “exemplary” mitigation and compensation measures. It also will remain attentive to agency requests during the project’s design, construction and operation, agency officials said.
