负责连接多伦多和魁北克城的高速铁路项目的王冠公司表示,尽管新当选的魁北克党(PQ)政府持反对态度,它仍计划推进该项目。

The Crown corporation responsible for a proposed high-speed rail line connecting Toronto to Quebec City says it plans to deliver on the project, despite opposition from the newly elected Parti Québécois (PQ) government.

在选举期间,魁北克党(PQ)曾表示,如果其上台执政,将退出Alto提出的列车项目。

During the election campaign, the Parti Québécois (PQ) said it would withdraw from Alto’s proposed train project if it came into power.

魁北克党领袖保罗·圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东(Paul St-Pierre Plamondon)认为,原本用于该项目的资金应改用于维护该省老化的基础设施,如医院、道路和公共交通。

PQ Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon argues the money intended for the project should instead go toward maintaining the province’s aging infrastructure, such as its hospitals, roads and public transit.

议会预算办公室的一份最新报告指出,建设该高速铁路项目的成本可能在750亿至1130亿加元之间,这一数额高于最初的估算。

recent report from the Parliamentary Budget Office suggests building the proposed high-speed rail project could cost between $75 billion and $113 billion, an amount higher than initially estimated.

圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东表示,如果有数十亿加元可用于基础设施投资,那么建设高速铁路并不在魁北克人的首要优先事项之列。

St-Pierre Plamondon says if there are billions of dollars to invest in infrastructure, building the high-speed rail isn’t among the top priorities for Quebecers.

Alto表示该项目将继续推进。在周三下午的一次公开会议上,Alto表示,该项目从启动到完工将持续约15年,期间将与多届政府合作。其目标是于2029年动工。"加拿大政府、魁北克政府和安大略政府之间的政府关系问题,那是政府的事。这不是我们的工作,也超出了我们的职责范围,"Alto董事会主席J.罗伯特·S.普里查德(J. Robert S. Prichard)说。"我们的工作是专注于项目的准备工作,确保能够按时、按预算、符合我们授权期望地交付该项目。这就是我们的职责,"他说。

Alto says the project is here to stay In a public meeting on Wednesday afternoon, Alto said the project from its inception to completion will last around 15 years and there will be many governments they will work with. Their objective is to begin construction by 2029. "The issue of government relations between the government of Canada and the government of Quebec, the government of Ontario — that's for the governments. That's not our jobs, that's above our pay grade," said J. Robert S. Prichard, chair of the board of directors at Alto. "Our job is to laser focus on preparation and being ready to deliver this project on time, consistent with the budget, consistent with the expectations of our mandate. That's the job we have," he said.

当被问及魁北克党对该项目的反对时,联邦交通部长Steven MacKinnon的办公室表示,加拿大政府相信合作联邦制,并准备好与魁北克政府在这一项目上合作。

When asked about the PQ's opposition to the project, the office of the federal minister of transport, Steven MacKinnon, says the Canadian government believes in co-operative federalism, and is ready to work with the Quebec government on this project.

“Alto是一个规模宏大的项目,将使魁北克人世世代代受益,”办公室的一份声明如此表示。

“Alto is a project of exceptional scale that will benefit Quebecers for generations to come,” a statement from the office reads.

“它将改变人们在魁北克和安大略省主要城市之间的出行方式,为他们的工作、教育和社会生活带来切实的好处。”魁北克党政府的Alto高速铁路项目可能比最初预期的成本更高:预算监督机构“政治研究专家表示‘我认为它已经死了’”但渥太华大学政治研究学院教授安德烈·勒库尔认为,如果没有魁北克政府的支持,该项目将不可行。

“It will transform the way people travel between major centres in Quebec and Ontario, with tangible benefits for their work, education and social lives.”What to expect from a Parti Québécois government Alto high-speed rail project could cost more than originally thought: budget watchdog 'I think it's dead,' says political studies expert But André Lecours, a professor in the school of political studies at the University of Ottawa, doesn’t believe the project is viable without the support of the Quebec government.

“我认为它已经死了,”勒库尔说。“我不认为联邦政府会在魁北克党意愿相左的情况下继续推进这个项目。”

"I think it's dead,” said Lecours. "I don't think that the federal government would go ahead against the wishes of the PQ.

“我认为,在此刻,加拿大政府最小化与魁北克政府的紧张关系符合其利益。”勒库尔补充说,反对党似乎不太可能投入精力支持该项目,并试图影响魁北克党支持它。

"I think it's in the interest of the government of Canada to minimize tensions with the Quebec government at this point." Lecours added that it seems unlikely that opposition parties will put their efforts into supporting this project and attempting to influence the PQ to support it.

魁北克保守党在大选中历史性地赢得19个席位,也公开反对该项目。

The Conservative Party of Quebec, which won a historic 19 seats in the general election has also spoken out against the project.

魁北克蒙特雷吉地区联合农业生产者联盟(Fédération de l'UPA de la Montérégie)主席杰雷米·莱特利埃表示,该铁路项目对魁北克和安大略的农业社区将是灾难性的。

Jérémie Letellier, president of the Fédération de l'UPA de la Montérégie, a regional branch of Quebec's largest agricultural federation, says the rail project would be catastrophic for farming communities in Ontario and Quebec.

“最终,决定权在于联邦政府,因此目前这显然是一个政治问题,”他说。

"In the end, the decision goes to the federal government, so it's clearly a political issue right now," he said.

“我们将尽我们所能阻止这个项目。对农民来说,这个项目没有任何好处。”他说,提供给农民的补偿远远不够,因为高速列车将穿过农田,严重影响农作业。

"We will do whatever we can to stop this project. There's nothing good for farmers in this.”He says compensation offered to farmers will not be enough, since the train would severely affect operations by cutting through farmland.

魁北克联合农业生产者联盟表示,Alto高速列队将对魁北克农民造成“灾难性”影响。在公开会议期间,Alto试图向农民提供安抚。

Alto high-speed train would be ‘catastrophic’ for Quebec farmers, federation says During the public meeting, Alto wanted to reassure farmers.

永远不会出现编号公路、联邦公路、省道或主要公路的中断,"Alto首席执行官马丁·因布洛如是说。

"There will never be a break in a numbered highway, a federal highway, a provincial highway or a major highway," said Alto's CEO, Martin Imbleau.

Alto表示,该网络初始段落——渥太华至蒙特利尔之间的更详细路线预计将在秋季公布。该铁路线第一段的施工计划于2029年进行。

Alto says a more detailed route for the network's initial section between Ottawa and Montreal is expected in the fall. Construction of the first segment of the train line is planned for 2029.
