Poilievre calls on Carney to release Gordie Howe Bridge details
"You just said you would not be splitting the tolls, so which is it? Are the Americans getting a cut or not?” wrote the Conservative leader in an open letter to Carney.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to publicly disclose the details of the recent deal struck with the United States to open the Gordie Howe Bridge, saying “Canadians have been left in the dark.”
“Canada paid for 100 per cent of the cost of building the Gordie Howe International Bridge under the simple promise that we would collect 100 per cent of the tolls until the cost was repaid,” wrote Poilievre in an open letter to the prime minister on Friday. “So what’s the deal? It’s been a week; it’s time for you to release the deal so Canadians can see for themselves what you negotiated away to the Americans.”
