I agree with you, however, in 1995, it would have cost 18 billion dollars. This would cost even more if we waited for the year 2035. Perhaps it might be time for us to sit down and decide to launch the project and get it over with.
We invested money—I cannot say that it was invested haphazardly, because this money helped the economic recovery. Take for instance the automobile industry where we invested $10 billion. These $10 billion will yield large returns. It is the same thing as with the train. If we calculate the benefits for the environment we can see that as far as we are concerned, it would be viable in the long term. Of course, it would be expensive at the outset, but in the long run, I think that it would be very profitable for Quebec and for all of Canada. If we do not do this, there will be more trucks on the roads and more airplanes. Someday, we will be forced to make this change.
