"Slow and steady" can be healthy, but if their is a lack of broader vision it can come also be a detriment to the city's growth.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Hamilton to Toronto as San Jose is to San Francisco or Fort Worth is to Dallas? How much does the primary city effect the growth of the secondary city in those two instances?

The Montréal-Quebec City corridor should have a population of at least 8.5M by 2046. I don't think we should worry about Quebec City. The A-20 and the A-40 are always loaded with traffic between the two cities. The high growth scenario projection for Quebec is 10.64M by 2046, so the corridor could even exceed 9M.
