Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My first questions will be about VIA Rail. After that, I have some questions about Infrastructure Canada. Finally, I will be talking about public-private partnerships.
So, my first question is about VIA Rail.
We are aware about the Quebec City-Montreal-Windsor corridor project. In the estimates, they are asking for additional funds in the amount of $382.3 million, including $240 million in order to cover the deficit.
Are you able to describe the nature of VIA Rail's operating deficit? Which infrastructure projects is VIA Rail planning? Finally, coming back to the deficit, which lines are profitable? Which parts of the VIA Rail network are profitable?
By the way, welcome to the committee.
