It has been tried before. I'm not saying this earlier attempt sets a precedent for how things would shape up in Hamilton. It was tried before in the national capital region, a long time ago, and in the end the experiment was not sustainable. We ought to find out what the parameters and the business plan of this proposal are. I frankly don't know what they are. I understand the deep attachment of the people of Hamilton to this station. It's an institution in Hamilton, and if there's a way it can survive, all the better. But you have to consider the business plan, and I don't know what it entails.
