Thank you very much, Mr. Iacono.
I'd like to thank my colleague for ceding some of his time to me today. It's rare that I get the opportunity to ask a question.
We had the new Crown corporation here to discuss the high-frequency rail project. They provided testimony to say that no decision has been made as to whether it will be high frequency or some kind of merger between high frequency and high speed.
One of the arguments or responses that we frequently hear is that Canada has a climate that is not favourable to having a high-speed rail model, particularly in the east. Given the expertise that we have with you, Mr. Péloquin and Mr. D'Angelo, what would you say to somebody who says Canada cannot have high-speed rail here?
If the response is that we can have one, given your expertise and your history in rail transport, do you have any models you can share with the committee that you think would work well and that you have seen around the world?
