news media had full access to the rooms in which the elected officials were briefed on the budget. Later, council adopted a policy in which all meetings are broadcast live on the city's website. Sports complex and Rapibus transit project Among Bureau's main projects for the city's future was the realization of a new sports complex in the Gatineau sector, which residents had demanded for several years. During the 2005 campaign, Bureau promised that he would do anything in his power for the completion of a new sports complex. Immediately after the election, he went into discussion with Chapleau MNA Benoit Pelletier in order to get funding for the province to build the complex. The province had approved money for the project and the city had some surplus money of its own. The project was completed, despite a significant rise of costs, but adds a new key location in the downtown part of the Gatineau sector, which includes a federal government office building and a college school. After delays, cost overruns and threatened legal action, the sports complex finally opened its doors on June 14, 2010 and came with a price tag of $50.4 million, becoming the largest sport and recreation complex completed in Quebec since the 1976 Montreal Olympics. The City of Gatineau had submitted bids for hosting the Quebec Games in 2007 and in 2010, but the initial bid for 2007 was defeated by the city of Sept-Îles. However, Bureau, former mayor Robert Labine and a large group of volunteers attempted another bid which was made successful by defeating bids from Rivière-du-Loup, Charlevoix, Shawinigan and Vaudreuil-Dorion. The sports complex, according to Bureau is stated to be a key element for the games. Bureau has also voiced his support for the Société de Transport de l'Outaouais's Rapibus project (similar to OC Transpo's Transitway in Ottawa) which is expected to be opened in 2013 after the provincial government officially secured a $146 million funding for the project, while the City of Gatineau provided the remainder $49 million. The Rapibus would also pass near the proposed sports complex in the Gatineau sector, as well as near the Casino du Lac-Leamy and the downtown Hull sector area. Bureau added that the city opted for bus rapid-transit ahead of light-rail service as the project was long-awaited.
