Mr. Speaker, the REM represents a milestone for sustainable transportation in Montreal and for Quebec as a whole. The opening of the Deux-Montagnes line will change the way more than 170,000 people, including families, workers and students, get around every day. The REM will generate major economic spinoffs, including the creation of 1,000 permanent jobs over time. It will also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 100,000 tonnes per year. This is an ambitious project that Quebeckers deserve and that is worthy of a strong Canada.
