Burlington Canal Lift Bridge permanent injunction granted

The Hamilton Port Authority (HPA) is pleased to confirm that the permanent injunction submitted on behalf of Public Works Government Services Canada and strongly supported by the HPA will be granted. The parties consented to have all of the individual motions settled based on the Attorney General’s application.  In his remarks to the court room, the Justice indicated that one economic interest cannot hold at ransom another economic interest and that shipping activity is a significant national interest. Counsel for the Hamilton Wentworth Police Services confirmed their agreement in enforcing the order.
