Weeks after the environment minister came under fire for saying Ottawa would no longer invest in new road infrastructure, he repeatedly told a government committee that his comments were misinterpreted and referred exclusively to a project in Quebec.
“I was specifically referring to the third link project that links Quebec City and its south shore. I wasn’t speaking of Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg or Vancouver,” Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault told the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee on March 21.
