The structure of the on-site partnership office is the Quebec government's responsibility. Construction of the bridge is entirely the federal government's jurisdiction. The province cannot criticize us for not dealing with the bridge issue for five, six or seven years, then want us to transfer our responsibilities to it. We will be shouldering our responsibilities and assuming them totally.
As for managing the process of establishing the bridge, if we paid for new premises, you would say we were mismanaging the economy. We have magnificent offices near the airport in Montreal. The new St. Lawrence River bridge project will be managed from Transport Canada's offices. They are not overly spacious, but they are big enough to accommodate the team.
We have worked well with the people in the community. The people from the urban community, the mayors of the entire urban community and the Province of Quebec will clearly be choosing the public transit structure they want to have on the new bridge over the St. Lawrence.
From day one, we were told we had not considered public transit. I heard your leader say that a number of times, as well as the FCM, but it is completely false.
