Wonder if this means VIA will restore service to Gaspe? (Quote below from a FB post: https://m.facebook.com/groups/214271542097478?view=permalink&id=632023276988967)
"$100 million for railroad on the Gaspé coast! Philippe Couillard surprised more than one this morning by announcing a sum of $100 million for the repair of the rail on the Gaspé, while the various echoes were saying $50 million to $75 million.
The Premier indicated at that this amount would be used to rehabilitate the entire section, from Matapédia to Gaspé. The first work will begin as soon as in the coming months. He admitted that to go to Gaspé, it would take "several years". At least three years from now."
