Thank you, Bill.
The terrain that you're dealing with here in eastern Canada, particularly more or less from Ottawa east, is in the Canadian Shield. It is considerably more difficult to work in than the bald prairie, where for the most part we have to deal with a few creeks and a few rural roads and one or two major valleys carved out by rivers but which is really quite straightforward. It is not highly developed; and I don't mean to demean agriculture, but most of it is under agriculture at the moment. So we're not uprooting families and businesses if we proceed.
The real dilemma that faces the Windsor-Quebec corridor is finding the right of way and making sure that construction costs are not going to go crazy. At some point I believe you're going to have to cross the Ottawa River, which is not an insignificant obstacle. The terrain is pretty rough, as I'm sure you all know. The big thing, as Bill has already said, is finding the right of way to get in and out of the cities.
High-speed rail at 300 kilometres per hour and beyond, which is now quite practical, up to about 360 kilometres per hour, simply cannot run on the same tracks as freight trains. It's not safe, and technically it doesn't work.
So getting into downtown Montreal, downtown Toronto, and Ottawa for that matter, is the big challenge for the line. The other issue that always faces any railroad or any corridor of this nature going through a highly developed area is that everyone wants a station. If you get too many stations, you don't have high-speed rail any more; you have a commuter service. I don't mean that as a death knell for the corridor at all; it's just one of the other complications that surfaces on that route.
