Those things happen, especially two days before the budget is announced.
Regarding the VIA Rail situation, you can say that there is no problem, but when a 60% cut is made, something is obviously going on. You can't convince me that certain services will not be affected. Rail traffic between Windsor and Quebec City is increasing, but is there a way to ensure that people from the regions don't feel like second-class citizens? We are talking about 60% after all. Reports have been produced and programs have been reviewed, but we are under the impression that the government is increasingly neglecting VIA Rail.
What would you like to say to the regions to reassure thousands of television viewers watching our meeting?
