He endorsed the idea of LRT to the west of the city and he held a press conference early in the campaign with me where he committed to finishing a prefeasibility study in the first six months on the idea. It's very exciting!
It's also the remarkable revolutionary step of acknowledging the existence of Ottawa (wow!) and it'll be frosty in Hell for the next four years as he actually wants to work WITH Ottawa! It's as if we moved 500km closer to Ottawa overnight! I'm hoping that Ottawa will reciprocate with better integration of transit, data and just a closer relationship.
This is very, very good for Gatineau and indeed the whole region.
