We already know there was a plan. For the line I am talking about, the MMA line, there was indeed a plan. The third party was subsidized at the time, but the company did not even take that money to do the work. That is what I resent.
It is all the more shocking to think that the company has subsidies but is not required to spend the money. It is not even a matter of cost allocation. First there should be an obligation. Once that obligation is established, we can consider allocating costs. Is it advantageous at the provincial or federal level to have rail lines, to have new companies that can join them? Perhaps we can debate that question. However, first we have to admit that it makes no sense to allow rail lines or sections to fall into complete disuse.
