I’m not convinced that it’s a complication. As said in
this blog Desjardins-Siciliano is said to have “claimed that both the VIA HFR and REM project are complementary and that there are zero impacts for VIA beyond the ‘usual construction impacts’ that you’d expect from a project of this size.” This implies to me that VIA has a different plan that doesn’t use the tunnel but, given their strong support for REM, possibly relies on it.
