Canada Begins BCA Listing Consultations

WKR announces that the Government of Canada has initiated consultations to consider listing the Grays Bay Road and Port Project (Grays Bay or the Project) under Schedule 1 of the Building Canada Act.

In a news conference today in Yellowknife, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Timothy Hodgson said that "The Grays Bay Road and Port represent something important: connection. Connecting communities, connecting Northern resources to Canadian and global supply chains, and connecting the enormous potential of the North to the prosperity of the whole country."

Minister of Transport Steven MacKinnon followed up that "Grays Bay is a perfect example of a piece of dual use infrastructure. There will be clear and obvious Canadian Armed Forces requirements of that project."

Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Rebecca Alty said that "The Grays Bay Road and Port Project will open a new gateway to the world through the Arctic Ocean, creating new trade routes, strengthening sovereignty, and connecting the North to global markets."
