High-speed rail costs could reach $113 billion, 25% more than estimated, PBO warns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
OTTAWA — A new report by Ottawa’s fiscal watchdog warns that the planned high-speed rail project from Toronto to Quebec city could cost as much as 25 per cent more than the Carney government’s highest estimates. The Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) estimated in a report released Thursday that the project’s costs would run between $75-billion and $113-billion, compared to the government’s estimated range of $60 billion to $90 billion. The upper end of the PBO’s estimated range is 25.6 per cent

OTTAWA — The Carney government’s recent legislation designed to avoid crippling strikes in the transportation sector was an important response to a growing trend that had the potential to cause serious economic damage, a new think tank report says.
