Thank you very much.
As I am the new parliamentary secretary to the Minister responsible for the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, my question will be about tourism.
Our government's goal is to double the contribution of tourism to Canada's GDP by 2033. To achieve this, we will have to make sure that tourists, Canadians and foreigners alike, can readily get to their destinations.
Will the building of high-speed trains contribute to growth in the tourism sector by enabling visitors to easily get to Canada's four largest cities and many of its smaller ones?
Mr. Péloquin, how can Via Rail contribute to growth in tourism?
