Clearly it is. As I have already said, this is not just a transportation issue; it is also an environment and climate change issue.
How can we reduce our carbon emissions? High-frequency, high-speed trains enable us to do that. How can we get more affordable housing close to railway stations? High-frequency, high-speed trains also enable us to do that. So we can see that this will offer opportunities for Canada. We have to be competitive in relation to other countries, certainly, but we also have to be competitive for Canadians. That is what I will be asking Via Rail, now and in the future, about another project: high-frequency, high-speed trains.
