A proposed high-speed rail line between Quebec City and Toronto could cost billions more than the federal government’s original estimate. That’s according to a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer. The report estimates that the project will cost between $75 billion to $113 billion, compared with the government’s prior estimate of $60 billion to $90 billion. Among the largest cost drivers is a proposed 15-kilometre tunnel into Montreal. And factoring that tunnel between Montreal and Laval, the PBO’s calculation includes 7 stops. However, Kingston is not one of them, and they are under consideration by Alto. If they are added, we’ll have to tack on another 50 kilometres to the track, and that would drive up costs significantly. Kristy Cameron checks in with Conservative Transport Critic Dan Albas.
