Original proposals highlighted future population centres of growth in Fort Smith, Flin Flon, Thunder Bay, Timmins and Labrador City. The plan was also developed in part to help facilitate population growth and immigration, with Rohmer suggesting Canada may see population growth of 100 million Canadians by 2070. Despite substantial initial interest from both public and private sectors, the plan was never implemented. (en) |
