Mr. Speaker, March 26, 2026, is a historic day. It is the day when the member for Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles finally threw his support behind the tramway project, a landmark initiative for Quebec City with economic spinoffs of $10.5 billion. It is a historic day because, just a year ago, he was campaigning, hand on heart, saying that he would take away federal funding from Quebec City residents. We are talking about $1.44 billion in funding that is set to increase. We are signing agreements with Quebec City worth $25 billion for public transit over the next 10 years, in addition to $13 billion in funding through my colleague’s infrastructure fund. I am very much looking forward to working with him on this important project.
In the House of Commons on March 26th, 2026. See this statement in context.
