Thank you, Madam Chair.
My thanks to our guests for joining us.
If I may, I will start with you, Ms. Field.
Since this meeting began, there is some consensus that the fund seems satisfactory. I imagine that receiving funding for their projects helps to make people happy and ready to move forward.
However, you tell us that, of the 17 rail companies that your association represents, only seven proposed projects. Of those, three have already been rejected and three others are waiting for an answer. Those numbers seem very low to me. Could it be that the program is simply not designed for you?
I was surprised to hear you say that one of your railways had been devalued by 50%. Is that also the case for class 1 railways? Is it your impression that the program's approach is not tailored to your needs?
