Mr. Speaker, with regard to the federal government’s purchase of the Québec Bridge, and particularly with respect to part (a) of the question, Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated, supported by Parsons-Tetra Tech, submitted a life cycle analysis of the Québec Bridge covering the 75 years following its acquisition by the Government of Canada.
With respect to part (b) of the question, this analysis was submitted to the government in September 2024.
Lastly, with respect to part (c) of the question, the life cycle analysis of the Québec Bridge, provided in September 2024, focused only on a 75-year period and did not assess the bridge's lifespan beyond that timeframe. The analysis concluded that, under a scenario of continued maintenance, the infrastructure could be kept in good condition and remain in service during the 75 years following its acquisition.
