Mr. Speaker, I guess that means there is no political will to do anything.
Yet in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, China, and now even Britain and the United States, they are building the future with Canadian high-speed train technology. They have experience and recognize the economic and environmental benefits of high-speed trains. Their projects are classified as nation builders.
Today in Canada we have the money, we have the expertise, but the government lacks the political will. What is it about nation building that so intimidates the government?
