City council could soon be throwing its support behind a high-speed train in the Quebec-Toronto corridor.
City councillor Paul Ainslie has moved a motion, recommending that the City of Toronto support Montreal’s calls for a high-speed -- rather than high-frequency, -- train between Toronto and Quebec City. Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie has seconded the motion.
“If Canada wants to significantly reduce its green house gas emissions and reach its targets promised to the international community, significant sums will have to be invested in public transit, particularly in rail transportation,” the motion states. The City of Oshawa has already endorsed a February motion passed by Montreal City Council in support of a high-speed train between major cities.
