Transport committee  Sure. As you know, Via has purchased fleet for the corridor between Toronto and Montreal. We've worked with Via on the safety of the rolling stock that operates along the Canadian and other routes, looking at their maintenance. We've had active discussions on what the new rolli

Transport committee  Thank you for that question. Maybe I'll provide a bit of general information, and then we'll have to come back to you with further information if required. Any time that a number of regulations apply when projects are there—for example, the Canadian Navigable Waters Act in term

Transport committee  Thank you for the question. The national trade corridors fund is the vehicle that we've used to leverage investments that facilitate and expand our trade opportunities.

Transport committee  Yes, that is for portions of it. As part of the assessment of the alignment options, there may be existing tracks that are used in segments where there isn't a conflict between freight and passenger rail currently, but there will be a significant component for a new right of way.

Transport committee  As we saw, what became very clearly apparent is the role that ports play in the smooth movement of goods and services, and the supply chain task force did highlight that very clearly. A key element, as the previous questioner noted, is how rail functions in and out of ports and h

Transport committee  Under the model, as the minister said, the subsidiary of Via, Via HFR, remains public. The choice of the procurement process and using a private sector partner was precisely chosen to allow for the greatest amount of innovation, looking at, again, service but also how we transfer
