Thank you for that question.
First, let me say that VIA Rail's decision to discontinue service in 2013 was not taken lightly. It was taken with a heavy heart. It was done because of the state of the infrastructure in place at the time. VIA Rail has always been committed to coming back once the railway line is rebuilt. We have learned that the Quebec government has decided not to proceed with the reconstruction of the third segment between Port‑Daniel—Gascons and Gaspé, and this has forced us to go back to the drawing board.
The passenger train environment is a fairly complex ecosystem. Our passenger experience doesn't start when passengers board the train and it doesn't end when they disembark. We have to look into the quality of the infrastructure. In this case, the track has just been rebuilt. We will be visiting Gaspésie soon to see the state of platforms that passengers use to get on and off the train.
We also need to look at the state of train stations. We don't own train station infrastructure. It belongs to the Société du chemin de fer de la Gaspésie. We need agreements to use tracks and train stations. We can't disembark passengers in the middle of winter and leave them on platforms. We have to tie several factors together. As I said, we are doing some serious work at the drawing board right now to assess the potential to resume service.
