Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
We support the VIA investment to help meet Kyoto's targets and help unclog our highways. After a decade of doing nothing to meet Kyoto or help train travel, the new Liberal leader is fighting the needed investment, or more accurately his spin doctor is telling a crown corporation to expect a big don't pay a cent event.
My question for the minister is, who sets rail policy in Canada, him, a backbencher, or another person in the shadow government?
