Contrary to what he said, François Legault knows the cost of the new third link project, believe the opposition, who accuse him in particular of showing willful blindness.
On Wednesday, Mr. Legault maintained that he had not been informed of the cost of the version of the project intended for public transport, yet included in documents made public, where these figures are redacted.
The deputy of Quebec solidaire Étienne Grandmont does not believe Mr. Legault, who affirmed to have consulted a short version of analyzes where the cost does not appear.
“I think he knows them, I can’t believe he doesn’t know them,” he said at a press briefing.
Liberal MP Madwa-Nika Cadet also felt that Mr. Legault cannot pretend to ignore the costs of the new project, even preliminary.
“It’s willful blindness,” she said at a press briefing. Either he hasn’t watched them, but it suits his business not to watch them, or he has seen them, then he doesn’t want to divulge them. But, in any case, we seem to want to show the numbers that suit us, then hide those that don’t suit us. »
The Parti Québécois also raised doubts by pointing out that Mr. Legault is trained as an accountant.
