You mentioned at the beginning that there are 20 million people in the region and growing, with another five million in the future. We see the need, obviously, for that.

Mr. Péloquin, Via Rail estimates that by offsetting more cars and car trips, HFR would reduce emissions by 10.3 million to 13.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide over the project's 30-year life cycle.

Can you explain to this committee how you came to these findings and how you plan to reduce emissions?
