The only driver for this service might be a minor amount of tourism. There would be virtually no governmental or business justification for this service. In any event, this "announcement" is a nothingburger if it is just a continuation of the whistlestop at YHU.
A service from Moncton to QC would make far more sense. There are linguistic similarities and family connections. The province of Quebec maintains an office in Moncton, and we also have a French consulate in Moncton. There are likely university connections between UdeM and Laval (certainly UdeM and Sherbrooke - medical school). I'm sure there could be some business and commercial traffic too, and, a lot more tourism traffic than to SJ.

QC and SJ both have massive refineries and associated industries so maybe there is a business case?
