Highways Minister Todd Stone predicts billions invested in the TCH
Highways Minister Todd Stone (center) talks to a small crowd of BC Liberals at the Regent last Wednesday, November 9. Accompanied by Mayor Mark McKee (left) and BC Liberal Candidate Doug Clovechok, Stone said the Liberals remain committed to twinning the Trans-Canada, portion by portion. It’s a big job and an expensive one at that. “We have been working pretty hard… we’ve spent almost a billion dollars on the corridor since 2001 and we’re going to invest another $1.3 billion over the next eight years,” Stone said. He also said the new Liberal government in Ottawa is going to invest $10 billion in invest new money in highway infrastructure and Finance Minister Bill Morneau “specifically mentioned the Trans-Canada in BC.” David F.
