Even if they are now ready to go and have a finalized route, the Expropriation Act is a very cumbersome process. Each individual expropriation has to be published in the Canada Gazette, anyone can object to each expropriation, if there is an objection a public hearing is mandatory, and then the court challenges start. Look at how long Frank Meyers fought the expropriation near CFB Trenton.

Didn’t the recent legislation that was passed for this purpose make it so that objections have no teeth and hearings aren’t required? I’m not clear on the specifics but my impression was that Alto has the power now to greatly expedite the traditional process.
