That could be the case. It would be necessary to consider in detail what the project entails. If the result of the project is to get more material to other destinations more quickly, it should be seriously considered.
A large part of the funds allocated is aimed at intermodality. For example, when a ship arrives, the containers that are unloaded are sometimes put on trains. In this case, however, a train needs to have a railroad that allows it to leave quickly, full of containers.
Also, many trucks deliver containers to the port of Montreal. Ideally, in terms of efficiency, the trucks enter the port to have their containers unloaded and put almost immediately into the ship. This is the ideal situation, but sometimes there are traffic challenges, such as congestion due to having to cross the city. All of this slows down the process. But, as is often said, time is money.
This is what we try to solve through the projects we accept. Perhaps this project is eligible.
