Leadership change at CDPQ Infra in 2026: Jean-Marc Arbaud announces retirement, Daniel Farina appointed President and CEO Français

MONTREAL, Aug. 6, 2025 /CNW/ - La Caisse and CDPQ Infra announce the appointment of Daniel Farina as President and CEO and member on the subsidiary's Board of Directors. Mr. Farina's term will begin on January 1, 2026. He joined CDPQ Infra in 2019 and was appointed General Manager in September 2023. In this role, he continues to be responsible for providing overall leadership for the organization's activities. Jean-Marc Arbaud will step down from his position on December 31, 2025, as he enters retirement after leading the organization for ten years. He will join CDPQ Infra's Board of Directors as a non-executive director. Jean-Marc Arbaud's retirement Over the past decade, Jean-Marc Arbaud's leadership and know-how have enabled the foundation and growth of CDPQ Infra into the strong, internationally recognized organization it is today. During his tenure, he oversaw the design, planning and execution of the REM, the longest automated light rail line in the world, delivered at the most competitive cost, developed during an unprecedented historical period. Under his leadership, CDPQ Infra was also tasked with implementing a new tramway project, TramCité, in Québec City, following the submission of the Plan CITÉ report on mobility planning in the region. Additionally, after a global call for tenders, CDPQ Infra, leader of the Cadence group, was selected by the federal authority Alto to ensure the planning and realization of a high-speed rail network between Québec City and Toronto. "I've often said that without Jean-Marc Arbaud, the REM would not exist. Today, I'd like to add that without his vision and tremendous work over the past ten years, CDPQ Infra would not be the reference it is today in planning and delivering major infrastructure projects. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Jean-Marc for his remarkable legacy at La Caisse and for agreeing to remain with us until the end of the year and beyond as a member of our subsidiary's Board of Directors. At the same time, I congratulate Daniel Farina on his appointment as President and CEO of CDPQ Infra and thank him for his commitment to the organization's growth and success in the years to come," said Charles Emond, President and CEO of La Caisse. Appointment of Daniel Farina M. Farina brings over 25 years of experience in managing and structuring major infrastructure projects worldwide. He has played a central role in large-scale transactions in the healthcare and energy sectors, as well as highway and rail transportation. With exceptional international experience, he has held engineering, management, and executive roles on infrastructure projects in Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. His broad experience has enabled him to lead teams responsible for research, management, contracting and development of various infrastructure projects. Before joining CDPQ Infra in 2019, Mr. Farina worked for the OHLA Group, including as director responsible for the new Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) project. "We are delighted to confirm Daniel Farina's appointment as CDPQ Infra's President and CEO starting in the new year. Since joining the organization, Daniel has proven outstanding leadership, remarkable experience and expertise in managing major projects, and a strong understanding of infrastructure both in Québec and internationally. Since 2023, he has played a decisive role as General Manager, particularly in attracting leading international industry players to Québec. We are pleased to have him lead the organization into a new chapter with the TramCité and Alto high-speed rail projects," stated Emanuel Jaclot, Chair of the Board of CDPQ Infra.

Pont de Québec: «souhaitable» d'abaisser le tablier, selon Lightbound

Le ministre fédéral Joël Lightbound soutient qu'il serait «souhaitable» que le tablier du pont de Québec soit abaissé afin de permettre le passage d'un transport en commun structurant sur l'ouvrage. • À lire aussi: «C'est sûr qu'à un moment ou un autre, ce serait souhaitable d'avoir une forme de transport en commun structurant entre les deux rives», mentionne le nouveau ministre de la Transformation du gouvernement et député fédéral de Louis-Hébert Joël Lightbound en marge d'une annonce sur le pont de Québec, mercredi. Il dit vouloir laisser le soin au gouvernement du Québec, qui a la responsabilité du tablier du pont de Québec, de trancher la question de l'abaissement ou non de la voie qui permet aux voitures de circuler sur le pont. Le ministère des Transports du Québec maintient depuis quelques années que l'abaissement ne se fera pas parce qu'il est trop complexe. Il est «trop tôt» pour se prononcer, déclare M. Lightbound. «Ça serait souhaitable, mais je veux laisser le MTQ faire son travail sans m'immiscer.» Plan CITÉ Le Plan CITÉ de la Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec Infra prévoit d'ailleurs le passage de deux lignes de service rapide par bus (SRB) qui circuleraient sur le pont de Québec pour alimenter les secteurs de la route des Rivières et celui de Desjardins en passant par le boulevard Guillaume-Couture. Dès 2016, alors que le SRB Québec-Lévis était dans les cartons, Capacité portante Mercredi, le député fédéral de Québec, Jean-Yves Duclos, a d'ailleurs réitéré que le pont centenaire pourrait temporairement accueillir des véhicules lourds en cas d'urgence, en réaménageant les voies. Il contredit ainsi l'argument de la CAQ, qui, pour justifier un troisième lien, en appelle à la «sécurité économique» et martèle que le pont Pierre-Laporte est le seul à pouvoir assurer le transport des marchandises entre les deux rives. «Ce tablier routier a servi durant 40 ans au passage des véhicules lourds, entre 1952 et 1993. [...] Si le gouvernement du Québec souhaite par prévention de cet enjeu de sécurité économique faire passer de temps en temps deux voies de véhicules lourds, il est possible de le faire. La capacité portante du pont de Québec est suffisante pour faire passer des véhicules lourds», a argué M. Duclos. Moctar Sidibé, de la Société Les Ponts Jacques Cartier et Champlain Inc. (PJCCI), Maude Mercier Larouche, conseillère membre de l'exécutif de la Ville de Québec, Steeve Lavoie, député fédéral de Beauport-Limoilou, Joël Lightbound, ministre fédéral de la Transformation du gouvernement, Sandra Martel, première dirigeante de PJCCI, Jacques Castonguay, membre du comité consultatif, Frédérik Boisvert, PDG de la Chambre de commerce de Québec, Alain Kirouac, membre du comité consultatif, Luc-Alexandre Chayer, de Logement Canada, et Jean-Yves Duclos, député fédéral de Québec, ont posé en marge de l'annonce d'un comité consultatif pour le pont de Québec sur la promenade Samuel-De Champlain. Photo STÉPHANIE MARTIN Comité consultatif Par ailleurs, la Société Les Ponts Jacques Cartier et Champlain Inc. a annoncé mercredi la création d'un comité consultatif formé de plusieurs entités, dont les Villes, le ministère des Transports, les chambres de commerce et les citoyens. Formé de bénévoles, il aura comme mandat de lui faire des propositions dans le cadre de la planification des travaux de réhabilitation du pont. Est-ce que ce comité pourrait en venir à recommander l'abaissement du tablier? Pour Frédérik Boisvert, PDG de la Chambre de commerce de Québec: «[L]es attentes, c'est que les deux parties s'entendent pour maximiser nos routes existantes. Par la suite, on entend parler au gouvernement du Québec d'un troisième lien. Qu'ils nous reviennent: pas comme ils le font maintenant, au compte-gouttes. On veut une vision globale, avec un prix, un tracé.» .wrapper_bandeau_scoop { width: 100%; margin: 40px auto; opacity: 0; transform: translateY(20vh); visibility: hidden; transition: opacity 1200ms ease-out, transform 600ms ease-out, visibility 1200ms ease-out;
