Mr. Speaker, I would like to point out that VIA Rail provides excellent service from coast to coast. Certainly during the holiday season and the summer, I would encourage people to book their VIA Rail trip and enjoy this great country.
In regard to the member's riding, VIA Rail service between Victoria and Courtenay is also paralleled by bus service and road service so people can get from point A to point B.
We are continuing to reflect on the infrastructure requirements.
