Federal government has been reviewing submissions from a short list of three bidding consortiums
The federal cabinet has approved plans for a new dedicated passenger rail line between Quebec City and Toronto that would include high-speed technology, according to a senior government official.
The news was first reported by Radio-Canada, which said the announcement would be made in the coming weeks. “While Pierre Poilievre talks about cuts, we’re focused on what we’re building to transform Canada for future generations,” she said. Former transport minister Omar Alghabra has previously speculated that the project could cost between $6-billion and $12-billion, but officials have since hinted the updated cost is likely much higher.
