Conservative MP Harb Gill criticized the federal disclosures as insufficient, noting that while project costs increased from $5.7 billion in 2018 to $6.4 billion in 2024, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority declined to provide a detailed accounting of construction change orders due to time constraints and the risk of releasing misleading data.
