Ottawa Mayor Defends Rail NDA

Ottawa’s mayor defends the city’s NDA with Alto, Canada’s high-speed rail developer, calling it standard practice for sensitive route planning and land negotiations — and insists Alto isn’t withholding public info.

With a $90 billion project stretching over 1,000 km and a first phase from Montreal to Ottawa, tensions rise as communities demand transparency — even as Alto vows to keep the door open.
