Mr. Chair, I'll be very quick.
Quite often people who are traveling on high-speed rail are going from A to B to their employment. This particular service would ultimately be dealing with just tourists who are going back and forth from the United States to the mainland, I believe.
I'm from British Columbia, so I know where you are. That is quite an investment for just that tourist traffic when there is great air service from Seattle to Vancouver. Have you analyzed who the passengers are and what the volumes are going to be, first of all? Second, there's a concern about leakage. Right now we know that the cruise ships are going down to Seattle because the cost of flying into the Vancouver airport compared to Seattle is $300 per passenger cheaper. Are we going to get that leakage where we find that people from the mainland are going to go down on that high-speed rail and jump on a plane in the United States?
