Mr. Speaker, I bet members can guess the subject of the petition I am tabling today.
If ever there were a concrete example of what the government should do in terms of its economic agenda, it has to be high-frequency rail, or HFR, which would foster development, reduce greenhouse gases and help fight climate change.
The government should link all municipalities between Quebec City and Windsor. VIA Rail is proposing this project following more and more studies. In addition, petitions will serve as a counterweight to the studies sitting on the minister's desk.
Everyone in Trois-Rivières unanimously agrees that high-frequency rail cannot come soon enough.
