Du lobbying pour la construction d’une infrastructure publique

Du lobbying pour la construction d’une infrastructure publique

Abstract

La notion de service public s’impose de plus en plus au Canada à partir du milieu du xixe siècle, notamment en ce qui concerne les infrastructures urbaines. Nous proposons ici une étude sur l’action d’un groupe de pression, les marchands de Québec, auprès du gouvernement fédéral dans le but d’installer un réseau télégraphique dans le golfe du Saint-Laurent. Ce projet, présenté par ses promoteurs comme un service public, prend forme à partir de 1875. Il vise, en améliorant la sécurité de la navigation dans le golfe, à favoriser la place du port de Québec comme plaque tournante du trafic commercial canadien. Cet article retrace les actions du groupe de pression en faveur de leur projet, la mise en place de ce dernier par le gouvernement ainsi qu’une analyse économique de son fonctionnement entre 1880 et 1895. Notre étude montre ainsi la distorsion existant entre l’efficacité pratiquement nulle du réseau télégraphique et l’image que s’en font les milieux d’affaires canadiens. Il s’agit d’un exemple rare d’une action de lobbying aux conséquences positives pour le Canada en général, mais négatives pour le groupe privé à l’origine du projet.
