Very well, Madam Speaker. When I heard my colleague talk about train service, it reminded me of what the hon. member for Bonaventure-Îles-de-la-Madeleine had said. My question is twofold.
The first part refers to what was said earlier. My colleague mentioned train service. The word is that there is talk across the way about a high speed train to develop both regions, Toronto proper and the metropolitan area. This train would apparently have to stop at certain borders.
I would like my hon. colleague to comment on that, because as far as I know, planes do not stop in mid-air when travelling from one country to another to have all passengers passports checked. I think there is a serious problem there.
I would also like him to tell us about independent workers. He never said anything about it, but there were designated areas in which assistance was provided to unemployed workers who wanted to start up a business. But this year, all designated areas will receive almost no money at all. I would like to know what my hon. colleague has to say about that.
