Quebec’s Minister of Transport and Minister Responsible for the Estrie Region François Bonnardel said: “I am very pleased that the funding for the Quebec city structuring public transit network project is now secured.

“This is an important step, which will enable us to continue with the preparations for this major project for Quebec City.

“The structural network will extend over more than 54km, making travel faster and more efficient for users. It is clear that this project will contribute to Quebec City’s development, and help it to remain on the cutting edge with respect to public transit.”

The Canadian Government through the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund has spent over C$737m ($554m) in 312 projects in Quebec province to improve public transit services.

Last month, the Government of Canada revealed plans to invest C$1.3bn ($1bn) to fund the extension of the Montréal Metro’s Blue line.
