Mélanie Joly Liberal
“We want to build high-speed rail to create wealth and 51,000 jobs. It will connect major cities in Quebec and Ontario.”
“Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, we are the party that wants to create wealth in Canada. In this tariff war, we must control what we can at home, given that we are in a world where we cannot control what lies beyond our borders. What we can control is how we build. High‑speed rail will allow us to create 51,000 jobs. We will be able to connect Quebec’s biggest cities, including Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, Gatineau and Trois‑Rivières. We will also be able to connect to Ontario, to Toronto. In short, we will be able to do what the major countries and industrial powers of the world are doing. We are capable of building at home, and that is what we are doing.”
