Wow! Very interesting ... thank you, Mr. Ivison for going into detail ... and explaining what is really going on here ... and, what needs to be done ... brilliant! ...
Wouldn’t it be standard operating procedure that someone qualified would have actually read what needed signing? It’s not like I’m a lawyer but who would sign something that left a back door open to add an exclusivity clause at a later date? Three choices: a moron, a government official, a crook. Most times all are interchangeable.
Surely the First Nations involved and presumably the federal agencies which were involved in final approval, have a legitimate legal claim that the Port willfully - fraudulently? - withheld the exclusivity clause, knowing it might impact those approvals.

Must follow this story as it will test the ability of all parties to work together for the benefit of all.
Another instance of Common Sense having no bearing on what should be a given.
It will be interesting to see how the government handles this.
Two other hurdles to go: Carney and Quebec.

This borders on criminality . . . but no one will go to jail.

It’s before the courts now. One would think so. But that won’t be decided for years, in all likelihood.
Not Carney / Trudeau Liberals again.
Prepare for more "woulda, coulda shoulda". Liberal Ottawa just doesn't know how to Like it or Lump it and dig in.
