Stop the 413 – Briefing to MPs

By Transport Action Ontario | Highways and Bridges

Aug 24

Transport Action Ontario is a core member of the “Stop the 413 Now” alliance of community groups and individuals based in York Region. In August, 2024, we completed an updated “Briefing to MPs” that has been circulated and discussed with numerous federal elected officials.

We are asking the Federal Government to:

  • Protect the environment using tools in its jurisdiction, including redesignation under the recently revised Impact Assessment Act, and carefully scrutinizing permits under the Species at Risk Act, Fisheries Act and Migratory Birds Act.
  • Support better use of Highway 407 for trucks as an investment in supply chain competitiveness and to support smart growth principles.

The briefing can be viewed below.
