The NDP government is very hard to read - I agree with the article that WH posted.
Parks Canada can ask the developer to redesign until they are blue in the face; in the end it will be up to council to approve it. The additional bonus here is that it could fall under provincial planning powers if need be. Personally, if I were the minister of SNSMR and the decision was to move forward and a number of players started causing trouble; I'd try to do an end run around them and exempt it from the Municipal Planning process and make it approval by cabinet. But that's just me...I like to be mean sometimes.
