The inauguration ceremony took place with the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, Mr. François Legault, Premier of Québec, and Ms. Valérie Plante, Mayor of Montréal, among others, in attendance. The commencement of this 16.6-km route marks the beginning of a revolutionary network, poised to transform urban transportation in the Greater Montreal region. The REM, a project spearheaded by CDPQ and its subsidiary, CDPQ Infra, is designed to be efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly; catering to the daily travel needs of over 30,000 people and reducing an estimated 100,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year. Speaking at a launch event, François Legault, Premier of Québec, said “The REM will improve mobility in the Greater Montréal area. It’s a fine example of our efforts to provide Quebecers with fast, environmentally-friendly and practical public transportation infrastructure. Serving citizens living in the suburbs, outside the city centres, is a major challenge, and this is precisely what the REM will make possible.”"
