Transport committee  When the government announced the agreement with the consortium, we included amounts of almost $4 billion in the fiscal framework. So this has already been included in the fiscal framework. Since there will not be any tolls, the government has to pay for all of it.

Transport committee  Those are not the estimated costs, but the ones in the contract.

Transport committee  According to the contract, the government assumes the liability regarding the tolls. It committed to paying that amount after having signed the contact.

Transport committee  It will be paid over 34 years.

Transport committee  Yes. The construction costs, the largest amount, will come first. When the construction is complete, the government will have to pay a certain amount every year to the consortium.

Transport committee  This bridge is being built for the sole purpose of improving the situation. The new bridge will have six lanes for cars and trucks and two lanes for public transit, for buses. Quebec may also want to introduce light rail transit on those lanes. This is going to improve the situa

Transport committee  Perhaps, but congestion also produces greenhouse gases. When cars are immobilized they produce emissions. With the new bridge, circulation will be more fluid than it is currently.

Transport committee  They submit a plan to us. Every year we have roughly $40 million to spend and they submit applications to us. We have criteria based on what the airport has to be. They have to have, for example, more than 1,000 scheduled passengers. They have to be a certified airport. Depending

Transport committee  Some of that is for the acquisition of the right of way. That was Hydro-Québec's. When we acquire the land, we do the environmental assessments, but it's also the cost of relocating the hydro pylons out of that right of way. They have to move them, and we have to compensate them

Transport committee  It's a little bit hard. It's an estimate that we try to come up with. We know roughly what the ongoing work is, for example, on the environmental front and how much it's costing us. Some of them we can cost. Some of it is a forecast of what could come and how much we will need pe

Transport committee  Exactly.

Transport committee  It's to finish off the projects that aren't yet completed. They're already committed, but they're just being finalized.

Transport committee  Yes. We are currently holding discussions with the consortium that is building the bridge. As you know, the government announced that there would be no tolls on the bridge. Consequently, we must remove the provisions in the contract involving tolls and to do so, we have to come t

Transport committee  Under the airport capital assistance program, we fund a variety of airports across the country, and we pay for safety improvements, usually on the air side of the airport rather than in the terminal building. A lot of this work is done in airports that are in more remote location

Transport committee  Go ahead. Then I can supplement.
