VICTORIA – Bruce Ralston, minister of jobs, trade and technology, recently issued a statement in response to Microsoft’s US$300,000 contribution to a study on a potential ultra-high-speed transportation corridor to connect Vancouver, Washington state and Oregon.
“A high-speed transportation system would not only benefit our tech sector, but also support increased trade and tourism, while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and creating short- and long-term jobs for the people of B.C., and all along the corridor,” he said.
Earlier this year, the government contributed $300,000 to help fund the study on clean, efficient transportation solutions to expand economic opportunities and strengthen trade relations along the Cascadia Innovation Corridor, Ralston indicated.
