Either CSEC pays something close to market value for the land or they chip in on clean up, or - as we saw, choose a different location.

Orphan wells actually have a fund set up by industry. The west end land is the City’s problem. Why would the province or the feds cover that?
CSEC’s plan was the best opportunity to deal with it in a development sense.
