Thank you for your reply.
If I had a message for you, it would be to say that people don't necessarily care about the deadline or the 2023 commissioning. But they do want to know what's going on and that the project is moving forward. I think that's the most important thing.
With that in mind, it would be interesting and important for the government to be transparent. If the 2023 deadline cannot be met, we would like you to say so and say when it will be finished. That would give people a lot more incentive and encouragement. This would avoid feeding cynicism and bitterness about the project. We also want guarantees that all safety measures will be put in place. When we see an oil project that appears to be more of a safety-related project, it can make us ask more questions.
It will probably not surprise you, but I would like to ask you about another project related to the rail sector. I'd like to talk about the Via Rail project, which your government launched with great fanfare last summer, just before the election. A call for tenders was to be issued last fall. According to several journalists and columnists, what is most frequent is not the train, but the announcements concerning this project. I think the formula is excellent.
I find it difficult to understand the direction your government is taking. You promised that there would be a tender in the fall. And yet fall has been over for several months.
What's going on?
