2014 Collison Report (pdf/1.26 MB)

Description: 
The following business case presents an opportunity for Canada and the GNWT to further collaborate in the construction of a 321 kilometre section of highway from Wrigley to Norman Wells in the Central Mackenzie Valley. The Project would further assert Canadian sovereignty in the North by providing reliable access into a relatively isolated region of the territory, incentivizing resource exploration and development of the rich petroleum reserves of the region, and promoting social and economic opportunities for residents of the NWT and Canada. It is estimated that 14,082 jobs within the NWT and the rest of Canada will be created during the construction phase of the project, while 161 long-term jobs are expected to be created for the operation and maintenance phase.

Description: 
The Northwest Territories Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act (1990), which is the territorial complement of the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, came into effect on August 1, 1991. The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations were first amended on August 15, 2002 to meet clear language requirements. Where the federal legislation applies to the transportation modes subject to its jurisdiction (i.e., air, marine, rail and road transport), the territorial Act applies to road transport operations. In the interests of consistency and national uniformity, the territorial Act references the federal regulations pursuant to the federal Act. In this way, dangerous goods moving in Canada from one mode of transportation to another and/or between jurisdictions are always subject to the same regulations.
