If you look at the previous page in this thread you can see that they did do some studies, they just never released them to the public.

That's not what the letter said. See the key date referenced. The FOI was filed before that key date. If was/is done after that date I interpret it as there would be more leverage.

There is an announcement scheduled for tomorrow morning at the MMC. No what it might be for as yet, but the Transport Minister will be there.

Via a post by Tom Box on @Reecemartin 's discord:
"TVA News says that tomorrow's announcement will be a "call for proposals" (appel à propositions). Interested companies will have until May 31 to express interest and give their opinion on the best way to get a project adapted to the government's needs and objectives. They will have until next winter to qualify to bid on the project. The government is aiming for spring 2023 for the launch of the tendering process (appel d'offres)."
