By increasing the frequency of trains, we are increasing the ridership, which is beneficial for the environmental as well.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1293181\" data-originallang=\"fr\">You stated that the new investments would be used to fund line extensions or the construction of a third line. Will there be investments of that order in Quebec, in the segment that crosses Quebec, or the Montreal-Quebec corridor and the lines that link Montreal with the rest of the province? </p>",
