My next question is about high-speed rail.
Minister, you are aware that the American administration has decided to launch a high-speed rail project. They are analyzing the situation in order to better connect communities across the U.S. by means of a high-speed rail system. The first statements in the government's proposal included a link between Montreal and other Canadian cities. We have not gotten the sense that your government wants to pursue this high-speed rail project, which would go a long way toward reducing greenhouse gases.
As you know, the premiers of Ontario and Quebec, Mr. McGuinty and Mr. Charest, want to conduct a study on high-speed rail. I know that you will be participating, but just barely. Will you really assert the Government of Canada's desire to be involved in this major North American project so that Quebec, Montreal, Ontario and the rest of the provinces will be well connected? We would have to express our interest to the American government immediately.
