The federal government has slowed the timeline on a faster passenger railway set to stretch from Toronto to Quebec City.
Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said Thursday he hopes the high-frequency rail line will be running by the mid-2030s — rather than the early 2030s, which he projected as recently as March.
At a press conference at the Montreal Central Station, the minister announced a request for proposals from three consortia that had made it onto a shortlist, the latest step in an enterprise announced in July 2021. Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez, the Liberals' Quebec lieutenant, said a fully high-speed rail corridor — called for by some politicians in that province — that hits peaks of up to 300 km/h is not feasible, given the number of stops the trains will make.
