Exactly. I was on this committee back in January 2023, when we had severe weather events across the country. We had an emergency meeting of this committee at that time, and we had the then president of Via Rail here. We were shocked to learn that the minister of the day—that was five ministers ago—was not in contact during that moment of national crisis, when people were in an egregious situation and stuck on a train for quite a length of time, and there were many issues around that.
I have faith that that would not be the case with you, Minister, but as you referenced in your opening statement, we had additional delays and incidents in 2024. It was apparent during those meetings we had at this committee that a lot of the lessons from 2023 were not learned and that changes were not made in 2024.
I think a lot of doubt still remains in terms of train delays in the corridor. We hear that constantly. While high-speed rail is probably many years off—I think the timeline is ambitious—what, specifically, are you going to do to ensure that this is actually addressed and that those changes are made and publicly reported back to Parliament so that we can measure whether there's actually been an improvement?
