Mr. Speaker, with regard to the delays of the Gordie Howe International Bridge project, the early works involving Valard, SLR, CIMA+, and others had no impact on the overall Gordie Howe International Bridge project schedule. All contracts associated with the early works were separate from the public-private partnership contract. Early works activities did not affect the schedule delay announced in January 2024. As such, there are no memos between the people identified in this question regarding early works and project delay.
In the House of Commons on September 16th, 2024. See this statement in context.
