However, Transport Canada and the government have already prescribed the sandbox in which they want these private sector companies to put forward proposals. They've described a high-frequency rail project. This is my understanding. When I met with Via Rail, they talked about the design of the project in quite a bit of detail. There's been a lot of thinking that's been put into it.
In choosing to go down that path—because high-frequency rail is a fundamentally different product and different service from high-speed rail—was there a formal assessment done prior to making the decision that said, “We're going to go the HFR route, not the high-speed rail route”?
