AI Article Summary
The Quebec government intends to transfer $25 million of federal funds allocated for the Gatineau tramway project to extend Montreal's Blue metro line.

The Ministry of Transport assures that studies for the tramway will continue and that the project remains a priority. However, this reallocation requires federal approval, which is still uncertain.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
