I'm mainly concerned with the Windsor-Quebec corridor. That route, especially between Montreal and Toronto, which passes through Kingston, is a very high-traffic area for all modes of transportation, whether it's air, vehicle, or rail. We don't have ships, but we could have ships. That seems to have been abandoned long ago. If you have an infrastructure for rail that is competitive and convenient, it will get cars off the road. It will allow people to have a reasonable choice to leave their cars at home and take the train. It's not that we should abandon the current VIA Rail service among the smaller communities, because that would be essential to provide the traffic to the high-speed rail through major collector points, like Kingston or London.
I don't know about Manitoba, but I know most of the lines run east and west through Winnipeg. I'm trying to remember, was it CN goes north through Saskatoon and CP goes south through Regina? If there were a high-speed stop in Winnipeg—and I don't know if that's in the cards or even being considered—you would need to have the smaller rail service maintained so that the smaller communities can take advantage of the advanced rail system, and that the major collectors can be accessed by rail through the normal rail that currently exists.
