The whole opportunity really only became a live one when Barack Obama put forward his stimulus package. We were suddenly contacted by the American side at the municipal and state levels. We do want to go forward and have that discussion on our side.
I think our obligation at the city level is to talk to the other people in the Lower Mainland, but also to bring together the groups that are very concerned about the development of rail traffic, so that we don't start down a road that frustrates the goods carriers and isn't taking into account the expenditures necessary to improve the crossing of the Fraser River and things like that.
But what I'd like to see happen from Ottawa's perspective is for it to say that we need a national strategy for passenger rail and we need to find cost-effective ways to indicate that and support that, because we haven't had it for a long time, and I think we're paying a price now. I think Mr. Gilbert's comments highlight the tremendous pressures we're going to face to catch up in the near term.
