At least, they'd be talking to the other rail operators and figuring out what needs to be done. Waiting for HFR to do this is just a waste of time and shows a lack of commitment to continuous improvement. If there's smaller projects with decent returns, they should be jumping on them.

Sorry. My bad. So you are suggesting that they do HFR in stages and do the Montreal-Ottawa stage even if they remaining parts don't get funded? I expect they would still need to wait for TC to approve standards for Class 6 track.
We likely wouldn't get the improved frequency part of HFR, as that is likely predicated on the synergies between the three routes.
