You will tell us that it is very late to send our best wishes for a happy new year to Geneviève Guilbault. But as the Minister of Transport informed us this week that the beginning of the year is still underway, we are taking advantage of it.
Mme Guilbault has indeed denied any delay in the promise of the CAQ to unveil the famous studies concerning the third link at the beginning of this year. “But we are still at the start of the year! Before June, we are at the beginning of the year? Before May, we are at the beginning of the year? I don’t know how far it goes, the beginning of the year. In any case, before the summer for sure, ”she said.
To say that these studies are overdue is an understatement. We would have liked to have them before the elections, for example. In fact, they should have been the starting point of any reflection, but the CAQ preferred to sell this project to citizens before even documenting it.
This week, despite the costs that promise to be pharaonic, despite the fact that the federal government has closed the door to all funding, despite the experts who unanimously reject it, François Legault once again said he was “determined” to make the third link.
We wonder more and more if he really believes in it or if he makes the supporters of the project dream by counting on blaming Ottawa for its possible failure. Certainly, these studies, we can’t wait to see them. Even the sparkling wine has been chilled for a while for the occasion!
