Mr. Speaker, my colleague from eastern Quebec and I often talk about trains. We are currently discussing high-speed rail, this major project, but there is also the problem of Via Rail's passenger train service, which I think both of us are concerned about, but that is a separate issue.
On the issue of cost, obviously that is a point that deserves to be raised and studied. If we go too fast, without taking the time to do things right, we run the risk of waking up to a disaster, as happens all too often.
At the end of the day, however, we believe that investing in mass transit is necessary.
