Related: The Legault government is in damage control mode as the premier navigates what may be his party's biggest internal crisis since the CAQ took power in 2018. After breaking a major campaign promise about a bridge between Quebec City and Lévis last week, Legault called angry members of his team to his office in a bid to calm the situation.
The Quebec government is moving ahead with a controversial transportation project in the provincial capital. Premier François Legault announced Thursday his government is planning to build a third bridge connecting Quebec City with suburbs across the St. Lawrence River. Legault says the so-called “third link” is important for economic security, in case one of the two existing bridges were to close.The announcement comes a day after Quebec’s pension fund manager — Caisse de dépôt — released a report saying a third link is not justified and would barely reduce car traffic.
The government abandoned the project last year but revived it after losing a Quebec City byelection in the fall.Read
