Thank you for the question.
First, regarding the situation we have discussed and are going to continue discussing, I would like to say that we have to start thinking about Via Rail's long-term objectives now, not just for the future.
Regarding your question, the high-speed train is the major transportation infrastructure project in Canada. We have to think very big for our country. We are a G7 country, and we have to have a transportation system and infrastructure that live up to the public's expectations now and in the future. This is a priority for our government. That is not the case for the opposition.
So what are we going to do? We have heard from suppliers. We are currently looking at three high-frequency, high-speed train projects. A team has studied the procurement options and the bids. We are going to choose a rail transportation system project for Canada and for the future of our country. The benefits this offers for our transportation system are clear, but obviously there will be other benefits as well.
Thank you.
