Mr. Speaker, last week, the government announced the name of the consortium it has selected to rebuild the Champlain Bridge.
Unfortunately, the Conservatives are determined to impose a toll that no one wants, which is going to cause terrible congestion and will result in huge economic losses for the people and businesses of the south shore. Furthermore, we still do not know how much users will have to pay to cross the new Champlain Bridge.
People of my riding of Brossard—La Prairie want to know how much profit the PPP will be making on their back.
The Conservatives' mismanagement does not end there. Although they are talking about a $3-billion to $5-billion project, they are refusing to ensure that there will be economic spinoffs for our communities.
Given this mismanagement and lack of transparency, only the leader of the NDP has the experience and the solutions needed to replace the Conservatives and repair the damage they have done.
