If a decision were made to adopt the east route, both Hydro and the government would immediately have to start negotiations with the First Nations whose lands would be affected by such a route.

"Our goal is to reduce the number of days it's closed," Ashton said Monday after the province's first spring flood briefing of the year. "We're going to look at all options including a potential relocation of the river itself."
