Mr. Speaker, if we want to talk about cars, let us talk about stalled cars.
Yesterday, The Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated announced that a second lane on the Champlain Bridge would be closed, after it discovered that the crack that led to the closure of the first lane had gotten worse.
People are worried. There is an increasingly real risk that the Champlain Bridge may not hold up until the new bridge opens in 2021.
Can the government tell us what contingency plans it has if the Champlain Bridge is shut down completely before it is replaced in eight years?
