From what I can see, the cities, the HFT and Contrecœur are all on hold. However, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, we would have expected some projects to proceed more quickly. The process has been long for FIMEAU as well.
Furthermore, the former president and CEO of VIA Rail awarded a $1-billion contract to the Siemens multinational company instead of to Bombardier. Siemens hired the former president and CEO. Perhaps this was a way of thanking him for the nice contract. We would have liked to put local people to work.
Have you reviewed the awarding of the contract to ensure that everything was done properly? We find that something smells fishy.
