Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses.
At our meeting earlier this week on Monday, we welcomed Michel Leblanc from the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal. Supposing there were a high frequency train where the journey would take around 2 hours and 50 minutes, I asked him if he thought many people in the business community would decide to take the train rather than drive. He answered quite clearly that they would not. In fact, he was quite pessimistic about the resulting modal shift.
Do you have any data on the modal shift from car and plane to train that might result from this project, compared with the status quo or a high-speed rail project?
