Caroline Mulroney

Officials say more than 900 people offered their condolences to Mulroney's family on Tuesday. 

Members of the public who wish to pay tribute to Brian Mulroney can visit his casket in Ottawa starting this afternoon.

His casket is being brought to Ottawa on Tuesday, where he will lie in state for two days. 

The Canada-Germany hydrogen pact sends a positive signal about the future of the industry, but its short timeline seems "difficult" given how long it is taking to get smaller projects running within Canada, a transit advocacy groups warns.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford doubled down on his support for another controversial Greater Toronto Area highway project that's mired in environmental concerns and uncertainty over its economic and social benefits.

The Ontario Society of Professional Engineers said it isn’t calling for the cancellation of the project, but has concerns about its environmental impact. The group also sounded alarms about a “lack of data and evidence” backing the proposal.

The proposed highway project north of Toronto would run through the Holland Marsh, a portion of the protected Greenbelt. Though it has had strong local support for years, two nearby councils are now expressing reluctance about supporting the plan.

The federal government’s decision this week to review the environmental impact of Ontario’s Highway 413 will slow down the project by several months at least. But long term, the controversial project’s future is unclear.

Federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson decided to intervene on Ontario's Highway 413 Monday, a decision that throws the project's fate into question. But Wilkinson declined to step in on the Progressive Conservatives' other contentious highway proposal, the Bradford Bypass.

Federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson is required to make a decision by Tuesday on whether Ottawa will take over environmental assessments for Ontario’s Highway 413 and Bradford Bypass. His choice could have major implications for the projects’ futures.

Political watchdog group Democracy Watch filed a complaint with Ontario's Integrity Commissioner Tuesday about a lobbyist identified in a recent National Observer/Torstar investigation, which examined connections between the Ford government and developers with land near the proposed Highway 413.

The Bradford Bypass would cut through the protected Holland Marsh south of Lake Simcoe. It last received an environmental assessment in 1997 ⁠— before the policies protecting the area existed, and before the climate crisis was a major factor.

The premier’s office says the 413 is needed to serve a growing population and relieve pressure on highways that will soon be over capacity. National Observer and Torstar took an inside look at the money, power and influence behind Ontario's push to build the highway.

The proposed GTA West Corridor, which would run through the protected Greenbelt, would save commuters less than a minute. Peel Region turned its back on the idea Thursday, the latest in a flurry of councils to come out against it.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau weighed in on Wednesday, February 12, 2020, on the protests over a B.C. pipeline project that have disrupted rail traffic across the country, saying while the federal government respects the right to peaceful protest, the rule of law must be respected.
