The train is expected to use a newly built, separate electrified track and run frequently. In addition to Quebec City, Montreal and Toronto, it would serve Trois-Rivières, Laval, Ottawa and Peterborough.
Transport Canada initially estimated that the cost of a high-speed rail link between the two cities could be as high as $80 billion.
It’s expected to take four to five years to design the future high-speed line. Funds are to be allocated at the end of that time period, so it’s possible a future government could modify or cancel the project.

I wish they would continue it through Guelph and London to Windsor.
It’d be nice if they could eventually expand it across Canada.
They’d probably have to branch it around Ottawa for that.
It’s the plan, build Quebec -> Montreal -> Toronto and then extend it to Windsor
