Thank you, Mr. Chair
I'm going to pick up where my colleague left off, talking a bit more about high-frequency rail. It seems like there are two key fundamental questions at play here. One is the decision between high-frequency rail and high-speed rail, and the other is the difference between public procurement and the P3 model that the Liberal government seems fixated on pursuing.
My question to the department is whether these questions were explored with formal assessments prior to the issuing of the request for an expression of interest for the HFR project.
