Madam Speaker, after several missed opportunities, the government now has a chance to kill two birds with one stone.
For decades now, Quebeckers, Canadians, and the people of Trois-Rivières have been anxiously awaiting a corridor dedicated to passenger rail service in the Quebec City-Windsor axis. The VIA Rail project does exactly that, not to mention that it would also reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
Does the government plan to step up and answer VIA Rail's call, to finally bring Canada into the 21st century?
