Good afternoon, everyone.

Mr. Chair, thank you for welcoming me to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.

I would like to thank Ms. St‑Onge for joining us. She is from Baie‑des‑Chaleurs, which is in my riding. I would like to thank her for her presentation and her passionate fight for the return of a passenger train to Gaspésie.

Mr. Paquette, since January 7, trains can once again run between Matapedia and Port‑Daniel—Gascons.

Will VIA Rail resume partial service between Matapedia and Port‑Daniel—Gascons?

See context to find out what was said next.
