I see no reason why you shouldn't look at other options where there is sufficient ridership to make a decent business case. I know that in the past the Edmonton-Calgary corridor has been looked at. There's been talk of connections south from Vancouver. Certainly, given the intentions of the new President south of us to promote high-speed rail in a variety of corridors, it makes sense from the perspective of international trade, and certainly trade in professional services, as one example, for us to look at interconnection with the links that are going to be created south of the border.
