When we address the railway theme—
Sorry, I'll switch to French. I'm more comfortable in French.
When we address the railway theme, we do so from all angles. For example, last summer, when we celebrated the 175th anniversary of the first railway, there were, on our site, the very recent, very modern equipment of VIA Rail Canada, representatives of the Railway Association of Canada and available publications of Canadian Geographic concerning the current situation of railways and the contribution and development of new hybrid locomotive technologies. All that helps to inform visitors about what is going on and about the environmental benefits of this mode of transportation, which is often for intercity transportation, but also to cover long distances, and to encourage it.
So our role involved presenting very contemporary, current, modern objects and objects from the past, exhibitions, demonstrations, talks and theatre. Art was present in all its forms and grouped together based on themes, which could be simultaneously from the past, present and future.
We have also taken virtual action, made outdoor presentations, helped develop books and established partnerships in which we can address the current railway system. Our role is obviously to make young and old alike aware of the importance of rail transit, but also to inform them about the importance of the railway system, which represents 75% of freight transportation and 77 million passengers a year in Canada. These things are part of our environment, but people forget about them because they are part of our everyday life. In a way, it is important for us to be able to provide a forum so that we can further develop this aspect and encourage people to do so. So we are doing it; we would like to do it more, and we are also doing it through other partnerships in order to get it done.
