Thank you for that question.

This is not at all about privatization.

We have opted for a public-private partnership so we have access to experts who have concrete experience with these trains. So this is not at all about privatization. We are continuing to work with the private sector, but the public sector will have a role to play in this matter because it is very important to continue to offer a service to Canadians.

We can do that with this kind of model.

My deputy minister could offer further comments on that.
