Nearly $924 million in federal funding will go to public transit, while $364 million will be earmarked for initiatives related to clean water and wastewater treatment. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday a new funding deal with Quebec that will see the federal government contribute $1.2 billion toward public transit and waste water treatment improvements. The federal government had previously committed to providing $775 million for public transit infrastructure in the Montreal area over the next three years. "We are making smart, targeted investments that will improve the lives of Quebecers across the province," Trudeau told a news conference at an STM garage.
