"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"801543\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Mr. Minister, for appearing here.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"801544\" data-originallang=\"en\"> <a data-HoCid=\"3085450\" href=\"/bills/39-2/C-8/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Canada Transportation Act (railway transportation)\">Bill C-8</a>, obviously, is really taking care of some low-hanging fruit in terms of fixing some of the chronic problems that we have right now. My concern is that, especially coming from Windsor, where I've seen the rail system not have the proper investment and also with the rules and procedures that are in place, it's lowered our productivity as a country. There's no doubt about that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"801545\" data-originallang=\"en\">Hence, what I'm really interested in right now are assurances with regard to the study that's being proposed. I'd like to know how much money has been earmarked for that study, and whether it's going to examine productivity with, for example, comparisons to the United States system and also with Europe and maybe some other countries in Southeast Asia.</p>",

Ce qui me pr\u00e9occupe, particuli\u00e8rement comme je suis de Windsor, o\u00f9 j'ai constat\u00e9 l'insuffisance des investissements dans le r\u00e9seau de train l\u00e9ger, et aussi \u00e0 cause des r\u00e8gles et proc\u00e9dures qui sont en place, c'est que tout cela a r\u00e9duit notre productivit\u00e9 en tant que pays. Il n'y a aucun doute l\u00e0-dessus.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"801545\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est pourquoi ce qui m'int\u00e9resse vraiment, maintenant, c'est de recevoir des assurances relativement \u00e0 l'\u00e9tude qui est propos\u00e9e. J'aimerais savoir combien d'argent a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9serv\u00e9 \u00e0 cette \u00e9tude, et si elle portera sur la productivit\u00e9, par exemple, si elle fera des comparaisons avec le syst\u00e8me am\u00e9ricain et aussi avec celui de l'Europe et peut-\u00eatre des pays de l'Asie du Sud-Est.</p>"
