Yes, that's it. He'll be able to tell us.
Minister, we're discussing road projects, but we're also talking about funding alternatives to roads. Sometimes people say that there's little to choose from in those solutions and that we'll have to nudge people if we want them to switch from driving to public transit.
I'll tell you a little secret: I drove here this morning in an electric car. It's better.
There's unfortunately a lot of traffic when you drive to Ottawa from Quebec. I bet you're beginning to understand where I'm headed here.
There's a major project that's being supported by the people of Gatineau, Hull, Aylmer and all across the Outaouais who would like to see a light rail service built out to their door.
In August 2023, your colleague Greg Fergus said that an announcement was imminent and would be made in September of that year. It's now March, nearly six months later.
In November 2023, you yourself said that an announcement would be made "in a few weeks" and that "good news" was on the way. You said that good news would shortly be announced "regarding funding for studies and the rest of the project".
I'd like to know if you can announce that good news today for the continuation of the project, which everyone would like to see implemented to reduce traffic in the Outaouais region.
