In our view, the fleet renewal procurement is progressing very well.
The project has come in and is ahead of schedule. That's exactly why the amount is there. We're pulling it ahead because VIA is ready to begin the payment schedule earlier than anticipated. That positions VIA Rail, in our view, very well on two fronts. First, it gets the new fleet in place slightly ahead of schedule. Second, when the government completes the due diligence to make a decision with respect to an investment in high-frequency rail in the Quebec City-to-Toronto corridor, there is a new fleet that is ready to be a backbone of that should the government decide to proceed with that project.
Madam Chair, if you'll permit me, I made a small error in answering the previous questions about the $760,000. It is included in the existing funds, but it's not included in the $8 million that was provided for in budget 2018. I made a mistake. It's part of the $3.3 million that was provided in budget 2016 to support the due diligence on the high-frequency rail project proposal of VIA Rail.
