I have many more things to say about it.
The accusation, which is very valid, that the previous government should have acted years earlier to begin this new project would have saved the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
I cross the Champlain Bridge, the busiest bridge in Canada. This is what a bridge is for, to allow people who live on the south shore and Montreal to cross to the other side. We could have saved hundreds of millions of dollars in not having to maintain an old bridge because the previous government delayed in initiating its replacement.
With respect to the tolls, that was a decision based on the large number of people who chose to live there. This was a replacement bridge, not a brand new bridge, and we're very proud of the fact that we decided not to make it a toll bridge.
