I agree with the sentiment but it is way too early in the planning process to be settling for second best and start making compromises. More importantly, as I said before, once we expropriate the land and build high speed crossings (which are as necessary at 160Km/h as they are at 380km/h) then what's the point of settling for second best.

Marc Garneau as minister of transportation is also good news. Having been around NASA means that he won't flinch as easily at tens-of-billions-in-cost projects.
