Carlos Leitão, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry
“I support the Alto high-speed rail project. It will connect Ontario and Quebec, create thousands of jobs, and cut pollution. The Conservatives used to support it, but now they are against it.”
“Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question, because the Alto high-speed rail project is a very important issue. I would like to know whether our Conservative friends agree. I do not believe they do. I think our Conservative friends are against the Alto project. After having supported it for many years, they have now suddenly decided that it is no longer worthwhile. For our part, we see it as a project for the future. It will help build a much stronger country by connecting Ontario and Quebec, creating thousands of jobs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. That is why we support the Alto project.”
