Thank you for your question, Mr. Deltell. Thank you also for your kind words. It is a pleasure to be able to work with you and your colleagues on these issues.
As you said, as much as I can, I try to take the train between Montreal and Ottawa. Obviously, I am a minister; I am not the Prime Minister. I have no protective service personnel who have to accompany me everywhere, which would make travelling by train very difficult for the Prime Minister, for example.
Apart from the question of the Prime Minister, we are working, with my colleague Mr. Alghabra, to make significant improvements to rail transportation service in the Quebec City-Windsor corridor, so it will be even easier, faster and more reliable to use the train than it now is. A number of studies indicate that this will reduce the use of air travel in that corridor, and will accordingly reduce pollution.
