Deputy Minister, Infrastructure and Communities, Office of Infrastructure of Canada

Thank you for the question.

In fact, this is part of the mandate letter of Minister Alghabra. He is responsible for the project, in conjunction with Transport Canada. The file is moving forward.

There is also a joint project office at the Canada Infrastructure Bank and Via Rail. Our department as well as Transport Canada are working with these agencies to move the project forward.

In addition, our team, with Glenn Campbell, is working on the issue of expertise with respect to other forms of funding.

Maybe Mr. Campbell can add a few words about this project.
