If the company pushed forward with its vision — which was yet to receive sign-off from the Canadian government — “core parts of the plan” would need to be sacrificed, he said. “And so, after a great deal of deliberation, we concluded that it no longer made sense to proceed with the Quayside project,” Doctoroff added.
