A House of Commons committee is holding a special meeting to scrutinize the financial terms of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, focusing on a proposed agreement that would see Canada share half of net toll revenues with the United States for the next 15 years.
The Liberal government is facing mounting questions regarding the revenue-sharing structure as the infrastructure project moves from construction to operation.
The committee’s inquiry aims to clarify the long-term fiscal impact of the deal on Canadian taxpayers and the bridge’s operational sustainability.
Traffic began flowing across the bridge earlier this week, connecting Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, over the Detroit River.
The opening marks a significant infrastructure milestone, though it proceeds against a backdrop of deepening diplomatic complexities between the two nations.
The revenue-sharing arrangement is central to the political debate surrounding the project.
