VIA Rail Canada - 2016 House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts/Comité permanent des comptes publics
Thanks to Greg Gormick for letting us know about the June 16th 2016 House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts/Comité permanent des comptes publics hearings and subsequent evidence.
The hearings focused on the previous Auditor General of Canada report on VIA Rail and featured senior VIA Rail management being asked questions by the committee. Topics such as: the need for enabling passenger rail legislation, VIA Rail's problems running on CN track and the High Frequency Rail idea are discussed.
High Speed Rail Canada has published the evidence from this hearing on their google drive for the public to view and download. Click HERE for english version. Click HERE for french version.
The hearings are only as good the politicians sitting on the committee. Unfortunately partisan Tory politician Hon. Pierre Poilievre and his outdated opinions on high speed rail add little value to the committee.
The All Aboard St. Mary's rail advocacy group has issued a press release on the committee hearings.
We at High Speed Rail Canada are looking forward to see what the future holds for inter-city passenger rail in this country.
