The appointment of the former director general of the Réseau de transport de la Capitale (RTC) as the new Minister of Transportation has sparked significant concern from the official opposition at Quebec City’s City Hall. They claim that this appointment appears to be aimed at reassuring the city's mayor about the ongoing tramway mega-project. The opposition believes that rather than addressing wider transportation issues in the region, the appointment prioritizes local political considerations. This situation places the government under scrutiny, particularly regarding its approach to public transportation development and governance. Local stakeholders are watching closely as the new minister settles into the role and begins to address transportation challenges faced by the community.
