On Day 11 of Quebec's election campaign one party leader is promising to support public transit in Montreal, while another leader is promising to cancel a tramway project in Quebec City.
Québec solidaire spokesman Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois is in Montreal to announce a campaign promise for commuters.
Conservative Leader Éric Duhaime, meanwhile, will be in Quebec City campaigning against a tramway project that is being championed by Mayor Bruno Marchand.
Duhaime says commuters in the capital region don't want a tramway and instead prefer a new bridge linking both shores of the St. Lawrence River.
Coalition Avenir Québec Leader François Legault is on Montreal's south shore today for a meeting with a professional farmers’ union — Union des producteurs agricoles — and then to speak with reporters.
Liberal Party Leader Dominique Anglade is visiting a farm in the same region and is scheduled to meet with the famers' union later in the day, while Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is on the Gaspé Peninsula this morning for a news conference about skilled workers.
