Federal Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon announced the Port of Vancouver expansion is now referred to a major project office for potential fast-tracking, despite years of opposition from environmental groups. The update is primarily procedural and is unlikely to move broader markets, but it may increase execution odds for local infrastructure-linked stakeholders.
