We've noticed this pattern across the country: the port authorities are in conflict with local communities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"902607\" data-originallang=\"en\">The City of Vancouver and community groups ended up having to go all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada to try to wrest some degree of land use control away from the port authority, which insisted it had the sole and exclusive right to do it. That had to change, and has to change, across Canada.</p>",

C'est un probl\u00e8me que l'on retrouve assez souvent au Canada, l'opposition entre une administration portuaire et la collectivit\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"902607\" data-originallang=\"en\">La ville de Vancouver et diverses associations communautaires ont d\u00fb se pourvoir en Cour supr\u00eame du Canada afin de retirer \u00e0 l'administration portuaire une partie des pouvoirs qu'elle poss\u00e9dait en mati\u00e8re d'utilisation des sols. En effet, l'administration portuaire revendiquait en ce domaine une comp\u00e9tence exclusive. Cela devait changer sur l'ensemble du territoire national. Cela doit changer. </p>"
