The Montreal Port Authority says it has submitted its permit application to Ottawa to begin in-water project works to expand the Port of Montreal in Contrecœur.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada has recognized the authority’s application as complete, which marks “a decisive step forward in the project’s progress,” the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) said in a Sept. 4 statement. As per the regulatory timeframe, the MPA said it expects to receive an official response from federal authorities in the coming weeks.
