Mr. Speaker, I am presenting a petition from Canadians and residents of eastern Ontario who are concerned about the LaSalle Causeway's Bascule Bridge. This bridge was damaged during work in the spring of 2024, and a modular bridge was installed to allow vehicles and pedestrians to cross. There is now a schedule in place for when the bridge is added and then is removed, at a great cost to taxpayers and with great disruption to tourism in the region and to the travelling public in the community of Kingston and the surrounding areas, including my riding.
Concerned Canadians are calling on the government to commit to having a final replacement bridge operational for May 2027. I think we would find agreement from members on all sides of the House.
