Noticed the language for all the other transportation options was more specific and concrete but this statement on passenger train service is quite vague. "is continuing to move forward on a plan for passenger rail services"

I also thought the ONR was supposed to send a report to the government on passenger service being restored so why are they doing a track audit now instead of including that in their previous report.it seems some definitive funding has been advanced for several projects but nothing yet for the passenger service being restored. There is also a mention of a sustainable plan and I wonder how sustainable is billions of dollars investing in subways and other train infrastructure projects in the GTA are being any better sustained. We have a small spread out population across the northeast and we need some of this to be subsidized just like it is subsidized in the urban areas.
Many of us feel that this indecisiveness is based on someone wanting to make this announcement closer to the next election. Politics should not pervert good public policy.
