Absolutely. Our studies and analyses are available. We'll try to obtain those from La Grande Alliance, meaning the ones on the missing section between Lebel-sur-Quévillon and Chapais. We can, of course, provide this information to the committee.
With regard to rail transportation, I understood from Ms. Levis's comments that CN will not invest if the project isn't profitable. I'm well aware of that. That's why we need to set up a project office that will conduct a comprehensive analysis of all potential users of this project.
As Mr. Girard said, companies in the critical minerals sector aren't large corporations. We need to find a way to enable them to extract their product at a reasonable cost.
The optimized rail network includes the Abitibi and Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean regions, where there are many projects. They aren't just mining projects, but also forestry projects. We mustn't forget that the forestry sector is also in crisis. It needs to diversify and find new products. In my opinion, two-by-fours, as we see in the United States, aren't the way of the future. We need to find a way to make everything that comes from the forest profitable. New products exist. Rail is essential for transporting all of our natural resources products.
