Carney Pledges New Investment in Montreal Port Infrastructure

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a new federal investment in the Port of Montreal's infrastructure, specifically in the suburb of Contrecoeur, Quebec. This comes as part of the government's new initiative to fast-track major projects under recently enacted legislation. The investment could be used for the current $1.4 billion container-terminal expansion or another project, with the port already receiving over $280 million from government and private partners. The Montreal project might become the first approved under this fast-tracking law, with additional investments expected for Churchill, Manitoba.
