BRITISH COLUMBIA
Having already been delayed by a year, the construction of new container terminals at Vancouver and Prince Rupert in British Columbia are facing further setbacks due to ongoing environmental reviews.
As a result, two government departments have been asked to look into anomalies amounting to US$3.8m.
Aboriginal groups’ legal protests over insufficient consultation and their title rights to the land are holding up the schedule, pushing back completion dates to around 2009 from an original target of 2008.
