Thank you, Mr. Gibbons.
I'm sorry to interrupt you. The Minister of Transport was invited, and we have no indication that he has accepted that invitation to talk about this with us.
I want to discuss, as well, something you talked about in your remarks about intermodal equity in terms of how the government supports different modes of transport in the country. We just had a lengthy study on high-frequency rail in Canada.
Do you believe that we need to address issues of lack of competition or the competitive environment in the aerospace sector in air travel in this country before we look at massively investing in a mode of transport that won't be available? I know you're focused on the west. I can tell you that none of my constituents would ever use HFR. They'd have to fly 3,000 kilometres on one of your jets to get onto the start of that.
Do you believe we need to look at the competitiveness and investments in the air sector before we can have a fulsome look at things like high-speed rail or bus service, as has been mentioned before? Do you believe the government has done that work to look at how we can improve connectivity via the airspace before investing $10 billion, $20 billion or $30 billion in a new HFR?
