Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to the guests and witnesses here.
We've been at this high-speed rail discussion for a while now, and certainly one of the key issues seems to be approaching it from a visionary sense of where you want transportation to go in a particular corridor.
Mr. Iacobacci, when we talk about the Quebec-Windsor corridor, we're talking about a pretty complex transportation corridor that already has huge investments in a variety of transportation forms. In the absence of a very coherent vision for this region, how do you see moving ahead with a new transportation system like high-speed rail with dedicated lines? It is a very significant investment of $20 billion to $50 billion, as we've heard, when we already have put such an emphasis on other systems.
Maybe I could just get your comments on how you see going forward without that kind of visionary exercise.
