What projects is my government investing in Montreal?
Every tracked government-money announcement directed at Montreal — themes, programs, levels of government, and the largest verifiable amounts.
Summary
Across 600 announcements, economy and industry lead, followed by transport and social welfare. Repeated $100 million city-directed packages covered homelessness, transit operations, community health and Transat liquidity, making government both safety net and economic backstop.
WATCH Watch whether future packages turn housing and transport support into visible city improvements.
