BROSSARD, Que. – Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said he will ditch the proposed toll system for Montreal’s Champlain Bridge if he is elected prime minister.
The Liberals said they will move forward with the planned construction of the bridge, but they do not believe the tolling system is appropriate.
Trudeau said the Champlain Bridge is an essential artery to and from Montreal and it is an vital corridor for the national economy.
