As cities recover from flooding, Quebec premier warns not enough money to go around
MONTREAL — Quebec Premier François Legault says the province doesn’t have enough money to satisfy all the demands from cities for climate change-related projects.
Legault made the comments today as cities and towns across the province clean up after severe flooding washed out roads and cut off communities from basic services.
Quebec municipalities are asking for $2 billion in new money over five years to deal with climate adaptation, noting that each dollar invested now will save taxpayers in the long term.
But Legault told an annual meeting of municipal leaders that his government has already committed $1.4 billion for climate change adaptation.
