"This kind of irresponsible spending without any accountability or economic logic illustrates the waste that has characterized the Liberal government," he said.聽

Housakos was referring to Alto, a Crown corporation responsible for building a high-speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City.

Documents obtained by 国产诱惑福利 show the corporation changed its name from VIA-HFR and pivoted to high-speed rail because of "widespread disinterest" in a high-frequency rail project announced in 2021.聽

The corporation hired a Quebec-based firm, Cossette Communication Inc., to develop a marketing plan that would reflect its new focus on speed. Invoices from the firm show it billed more than $330,000 between October 2023 and January 2025.

As part of its rebranding, the VIA Rail subsidiary changed its name from VIA-HFR to Alto, which was intended to evoke higher speeds and a higher level of service.聽

Sen. Marc Gold, the government's representative in the Senate, said Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to focus on "major projects that have a national interest that will bind this country together."

But he also said Carney is very serious about "fiscal responsibility."

In February, former prime minister Justin Trudeau officially announced the high-speed rail project, which would take passengers from Montreal to Toronto in just three hours.聽

The government鈥檚 initial plan for the passenger rail system, announced in July 2021, envisioned a high-frequency rail line connecting Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City. The network would have cut travel times for passengers, but the trains would be too slow to be considered high-speed.

The documents cite public opinion research showing that people preferred a higher-speed rail line, despite the added cost.
