e-4717 (Transportation)

E-petition
Initiated by James McAvoy from Ottawa, Ontario

Original language of petition: English

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • Via Rail provides a public service to all Canadians;
  • Approximately 70% of Via Rail's revenue comes from Corridor services;
  • The proposed HSR/HFR project would hand Corridor operations over to a private operator; and
  • This would effectively gut VIA Rail, which would negatively affect many Canadians, particularly rural Canadians.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to remove the section of the HSR/HFR project that hands operations of services in the Corridor to whichever private operator is successful in its bid.
