Address the safety implications of the admitted 'sporadic' engagement with Transport Canada due to 'capacity constraints'.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent's submission acknowledges that the primary federal regulator for transportation is unable to regularly engage due to capacity constraints. For Melgund, an unorganized territory traversed by the haul route (Highway 17) with zero local emergency services, this regulatory vacuum presents a critical safety risk. The Working Group must demand a plan to bridge this gap, ensuring that transportation safety planning is robust and does not rely on a regulator that is currently absent. This is an opportunity to establish strict local safety protocols in the absence of federal oversight."
