On November 11, 2026, Montreal mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada publicly defended the high‑speed rail project that would link Quebec City and Toronto.
The initiative faces opposition from the newly elected Parti Québécois government led by Paul St‑Pierre Plamondon, which has voiced resistance to the plan, making the project a contested piece of infrastructure in the province.
