Ottawa investit 4,7 milliards de dollars pour la construction de voitures de train de VIA Rail, un contrat qui fournira entre autres du travail à l’usine d'Alstom de La Pocatière, au Bas-Saint-Laurent.
Le contrat prévoit l'acquisition de 313 voitures, qui seront mises en service à partir de 2031.
Selon le premier ministre, cet investissement permettra de soutenir près de 700 emplois directs pendant 9 ans au Québec et en Ontario, et d’assurer la pérennité des services de train de passagers, particulièrement en région.
Cela représente près de 250 emplois à La Pocatière, selon ce qu'a indiqué à l'émission Midi info le ministre de la Transformation du gouvernement, des Travaux publics et de l'Approvisionnement, Joël Lightbound.
