As an inter-provincial railway plan, as per Section 92(10)(a) and (c) of Canada's Constitution, our proposal goes to the Canadian Transportation Agency. The applicable rules are under the Canada Transportation Act, and the Railway Safety Act. For example, in the current spat over the track dismantlement and obstruction at Bayview, the City of Ottawa is facing the federal regulator, not MOOSE specifically. See:

As a railway development affecting the National Capital Region, the NCC also has a key role (e.g. under NCC Capital Urban Lands Plan).
We do not expect the opposition to last very long, unless it finds its footing in something more logically solid than "just say no".
