Senate National Finance Committee testimony on the Alto project and Bill C-15 highlights the high stakes for communities and the economy in delivering high-speed rail Canada.
"As Imbleau told senators, the approach mattered as much as the tracks themselves. The coming months would test whether Canada could build the future while honouring its past." We hope.
High speed rail makes sense in some markets; Canada isn't one of them. Listening to the Laurentian Elites described the proposed project as "nation building" highlights how truly small is their vision of Canada... just Quebec to Toronto... Everything outside of that is irrelevant.
Imbeau said, "Airports could be served with separation. Canadians must be able to hop on high-speed rail Canada to reach them."
Sounds to me like reaching airports is not in this expensive plan. I would make it a condition. We don't need another transport line NOT going to airports. Seriously!

Yes, hope. Too often the discussion is mistaken for the actual progress.

Thanks for this information.
