Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Minister, and congratulations on your new function. I always say that if you want to see results, give more work to the people who are very organized. Give it to the busiest people and they will definitely come through with flying colours. I have to tell you, Minister Anand, as a woman MP, I couldn't be prouder to have you as our Minister of Transport. I think you're breaking the ceiling for many young women and girls watching you here today.
Having said that, we know your predecessor sent a letter to Via Rail on September 4, 2024. In his letter, he asked for a certain response within 30 days.
Do you know whether Via Rail respected the 30-day timeline, and did they come back with their action plan?
