Maybe I'll just answer. I know Rob wants to get into it as well.
I was on one of those trains that goes from downtown Shanghai out to the airport. It went 420 kilometres an hour. I'll tell you, that pins your ears back. It's an impressive train--or plane. I'm glad they didn't put wings on it, because the thing would have taken off.
In the last proposal that was put together in the 1990s to have a high-speed train in the Montreal to Windsor corridor, the estimated cost at that time was $18 billion. We're working with the Province of Quebec right now to update that report to see where we're at today.
My fear is that the costs in a populated area are astronomically high. I don't know what to do about that. It's different in China. When they want a piece of land, they don't have to negotiate with the private landowner to get it, so their costs are different from ours.
The reality is that the one place in Canada where it makes the most sense is in the Montreal to Windsor corridor, and in that corridor just the land costs alone are astronomical.
We're working on it with the Quebec government and hope to have the feasibility study soon. That will include some updated numbers from the study from the 1990s, but you can be sure that the numbers will be awfully high. Whether it's affordable or not, we'll find out when the report comes in.
Rob.
