Mr. Hoback, I think I've done that plane ride going west.
Start with your dense populations. We've debated things like high-speed rail in Canada for 25 to 30 years. Arguably, in the Windsor-Quebec corridor you probably have enough people, recognizing the fare box will not pay for things like high-speed rail. Nowhere in the world does the user pay the full cost. It's seen as a social benefit, taking people off the roads, out of airports. It's an alternative form of travel.
Southern Ontario would be the place I would start, and obviously the provincial government's committed to building public infrastructure, public transit, there. The question is whether we can do more, because clearly we need more if our economy is really going to function at a high level.
