Trudeau hopes to highlight infrastructure platform during Montreal campaign stop

MONTREAL — Justin Trudeau is once again showcasing the Liberal economic team, but this time for a Quebec audience.
The Liberal leader is in Montreal today to highlight not only his high-profile candidates, but the party’s recently announced infrastructure platform, which proposes to invest as much as $125 billion into the country’s crumbling roads and bridges.
The event mirrors ones that have already been in the Toronto area and is meant to burnish Liberal economic credentials in a province where the party is trailing.
Trudeau, in his statement, put particular emphasis on public transit and investments in early learning and childhood development — issues that have been front and centre in the province, most notably in the long-sought Champlain Bridge project.
The Liberals are proposing to run three years of deficits in order to finance their infrastructure plan.
