I should check again because it's summertime now...
It may depend of the Expressways aswell. A20 seems faster than A40 cause it's the main Autoroute of the province such as 401 in Wintario.

My observation is that it is generally faster than that.
One thing I have noticed in recent years is that average speeds in Quebec and Ontario seem to have converged. Since I've been driving Quebecers have slowed down a bit and Ontarians have sped up. So it's now about the same speed on the 401 or the 417 vs. the A20 or the A40.
Although the driving is still more aggressive in Quebec - if you hog the left (passing lane) here it will take about 10 seconds for someone to be right on your bumper, maybe flashing his lights even.
I have family who live just east of Ottawa so I frequently do ON-174, then ON-417 and then QC A-5 and QC A-50 all in one stretch and the difference in aggressivity is very noticeable once you cross the bridge.
