Transport committee  I can think of one very good example, just off the top of my head. There's a very small city in middle Germany called Nuremberg. It's a small city of under one million people. They have a subway system, a light-rail system, a bus system, and a high-speed rail system all going thr

Transport committee  There are several.

Transport committee  I can comment also that given the number of studies that were done in Canada and the fairly low progress, I believe that probably none of the companies would see this as a high-potential project for which in the past they would have invested significant amounts of money to push f

Transport committee  I do not today, no.

Transport committee  I haven't had any discussions on that point, but anything--

Transport committee  I've been asked this question a few times in the past. The answer is difficult, because the best corridor will depend on the vision--referring to my opening comments--what the long-term vision is for the overall system, based on whether or not you want to service the maximum numb

Transport committee  Yes. The only one I know of is in the U.K., because the government of the U.K. about ten years ago decided that the only way to operate railways in the U.K. was with safety management systems. Canada piggybacked on that in the early 2000 years--

Transport committee  No, no, just operating railways.

Transport committee  For high-speed rail, I don't know of any country that uses that system to ensure safety.

Transport committee  I personally don't know of anything.

Transport committee  For high-speed rail in Canada? Not Siemens.

Transport committee  A group has recently been brought together to conduct a study. I think four or five companies make up the group. That is the only group doing a study.

Transport committee  That really depends on the question you are asking. For example, if you are talking about research to improve electricity transmission technology for locomotives and signals, each company does its own research.

Transport committee  Not for high speed trains, to my knowledge.

Transport committee  There's always a conflict between having a truly high-speed rail system and the number of stops that you want to build into the line. When anybody talks about building high-speed rail, of course, all the municipalities that are on the alignment or close to the alignment would lik
