"This landmark project is set to revolutionize mobility in Canada for future generations. The Cadence consortium’s unparalleled expertise, synergy, and successful track record offer Alto, the Crown corporation with which we will develop this project, a trusted partner to bring this visionary project to life at the best possible cost. We thank everyone involved in the development of the proposal for their trust and professionalism over the last year.

Major infrastructure projects such as Alto generate substantial impacts by growing the Canadian economy and making it more productive. In the area of transportation, these projects are helping to meet the connectivity and mobility needs of Canadians while respecting communities. They help achieve our climate goals and advance reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. They create jobs and stimulate local investment, making Canada more resilient in an uncertain economic environment. The partners which are Cadence and the Crown corporation have all the expertise and tact needed to meet these challenges successfully.
