Both primarily target their own residents but are also useful to the other’s.

Agreed. Crossing Trillium to the Zibi site is important, not only for Ottawa commuters to Terraces de la Chaudière, but also to facilitate Gatineau residents' movement to a future arena at LeBreton Flats. That extension, if the Feds take on PoW (interprovincial crossings should always be Federal jurisdiction IMO) would be relatively cheap compared to Confederation Line extension to Kanata and Barrhaven. Gatineau hopefully crosses the Royal Alexandra (crossing once again should be paid by the Feds) and tunnel under Sussex or Mackenzie to connect with Confederation's Rideau Station.
