Wasn't that the one that "discovered" that if you bypass it's main potential users (that is, 0.5m people living about 100km away) then there is no demand for the service?
Might be in the fine print, but not in the main recommendations.
The 2011 feasibility study finds:
- must have government pay at least half of upfront costs
- full Quebec City - Windsor not sustainable, but for the Canadian economy, electric 300km/h on Montreal-Toronto would have net present value of $869M; diesel 200km/h on Montreal-Toronto NPV = $817M; E300 on Quebec City-Toronto NPV = $257M.
