A High-Speed Rail Plan Meets Quebec's New Government

The Crown corporation responsible for a proposed high-speed rail line connecting Toronto and Quebec City says it plans to deliver the project, despite opposition from the newly elected Parti Québécois government in Quebec. Two positions are now on the record: a delivery body publicly committing to the line, and a provincial government that came to office against it. For a corridor that crosses Quebec either way, the next question is a practical one — what a province can actually do to a project it doesn't want.
