Feds disclose more details on Trump admin request to delay Gordie Howe bridge opening

But the MP whose questions triggered the disclosure says he’s “not satisfied at all” with the responses, accusing Ottawa of still hiding key information about the $6.4-billion bridge that became mired in cross-border political controversy earlier this year.

"The truth is going to come out eventually, and the more you beat around the bush, the more suspicious people get," says Harb Gill, the Conservative MP for Windsor West.

In particular, federal authorities declined to provide details about some of the extra costs to get the bridge open.

Still, some of the responses shed additional light on a major infrastructure project that was swept up in broader cross-border tensions when U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to block the bridge’s opening in February.

That threat followed intense lobbying and hefty donations to Republicans from the owners of the nearby Ambassador Bridge.
