I would suggest to you that given rail technology as we have it.... And I can tell you we have a lot of level crossings across Ontario with trains travelling at about 160 kilometres an hour with very few incidents. Why wouldn't you look at first promoting an incrementalized plan, perhaps even using the Bombardier JetTrain type of design that they brought in a number of years ago? Electrification is a big step, and it doubles the cost of building a train.
I'm just wondering why you aren't talking to the Alberta government about building a transit system that would connect those areas. One of the great things about a train is that it can stop in Red Deer, and a plane won't stop between those stops.
Why aren't we first trying to get an incrementalized plan, build ridership, build a business plan, and get to where we need to go? I think that's where we need to go. We need to continue looking at and investing into rail.
