I want to assure you that we are doing our work very diligently. I am sure you will understand that this is an extremely complex project that involves hundreds of kilometres and raises some key issues. Will there be enough passengers to make the HFR viable? We do not want to be forced to subsidize this train beyond a certain amount, if I may say so. There are also environmental issues and the need to consult with indigenous peoples. In addition, there is an interoperability issue if the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) is built in Montreal.
