Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Bélanger, for leading a great set of questions.
I'm wondering if there have been any Canadian proposals, plans, or studies in relation to an integrated network of high-speed rural rail and low-speed urban rail, or some other form of transit, such as bus stations, on a provincial, federal, or municipal scale. That's a big question. I know that it's been done in Europe quite a bit. Of course, as we've heard, money is the issue in Europe, but also in Europe is the issue of there being 16 to 30 persons per square mile, compared to just over 1.1 here. We have the lowest density of population in the world. Obviously, money is not the only issue.
Have there been studies done in Canada in relation to integrating a network, either private or public?
