Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My next question is for Mr. Rosen.
Before I was elected to the House of Commons, I served as mayor of a municipality. Therefore, I understand the situation. When Transport Canada officials appeared before the committee, they brought with them a study prepared in 1995 by the Ontario, Quebec and federal governments. They also tabled the call for tenders for the new study which, among other things, would update the 1995 study.
Two options were advanced in the 1995 study: high-speed rail, or 200 km/h technology, and very high-speed rail, or 300 km/h technology. I wish to point out that both scenarios proposed in 1995 called for the building of a station in Kingston. According to the report, if the option selected was the 200 km/h system, with a rail line from Toronto to Kingston, the existing Toronto-Napanee line would be used and a new line would be constructed from Napanee to Kingston, as well as a new line from Kingston to Ottawa. For the 300 km/h technology, the existing rail line would be used, but with new lines being constructed from Coburg to Kingston and from Kingston to Ottawa.
Are you familiar with this study? The plan called for a station to be located in Kingston. Are you worried about the location?
