Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually, Mr. Vis's comments and questions are a perfect segue in terms of the question that I have.
We have heard from the minister that she is ensuring that we have a commitment to passenger safety. We have heard that she wants to have a commitment from Via Rail with respect to enhanced customer service, a focus on reliability, and, as we heard in previous meetings, the compensation that was afforded to the passengers.
What I want to do, and as a segue from Mr. Vis, is to speak about and ask about the infrastructure investments that have been made. As we all recognize, NTCF was a fund that was introduced by former ministers and of course that has allocated and appropriated many funds to ensure that the infrastructure in place was brought up to date, in particular as it relates to rail improvements. However, where I'm going with this is twofold.
Within a more integrated multimodal network, we recognize that, not only here in Canada but binationally, we are seeing some challenges with the integration of all methods of transportation. Do you feel comfortable that Via can handle future expectations on levels of service within a more robust integrated transportation network with respect to the investments that have been made and the investments that are expected to be made to ensure the movement of both trade and people, such as this corridor that Via is travelling on?
