I'm asking myself the same question... The AMT was already conducting studies, so I think the MTQ only asked them to study the impact of others modes. I believe it'll be done underground though.
And yes, the government is trying to fix it's finances. Hence the Caisse having to invest in future transit projects. The reconstruction of the Turcot Interchange will cost 5 billion itself, so the MTQ doesn't have as much money as Ontario to invest in public transit.
