“I think the elevator has to go up”, illustrated Mme Biron, arriving at the special meeting to which Prime Minister François Legault had invited the deputies from Quebec and Chaudière-Appalaches, Tuesday morning.
Mme Biron did not specify the nature of the investments that could be made to compensate for the loss of the road tunnel which was to link the city centers of Quebec and Lévis by passing under the river, a project whose costs, including the dedicated tube to public transit, now amounted to $10 billion.

Deputy Prime Minister Geneviève Guilbault arrived last at this special caucus, more than twenty minutes late.
