Blanchet hits the hustings in Terrebonne, Que., with a call for public consultation on Alto high-speed rail project – iPolitics

What’s happening on (and off) Parliament Hill, plus the news you need to start your day.
A day after the Conservatives called on the government to pull the plug on the proposed high-speed rail line between Toronto and Quebec City, which he described as a “$90-billion Liberal boondoggle,” Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet is set to outline his party’s ongoing concerns over the Alto project during a mid-morning media availability with former — and potentially future — Bloc MP Nathalie Sinclair Desgagné in Terrebonne, Que. (11 a.m.)
As iPolitics reported earlier this year, Blanchet and his party have publicly challenged the government’s bid to accelerate the approval process, and called for more extensive public consultations.
