The 401 maintains a 300 ft (> 90m) wide right-of-way through most of Eastern Ontario.
Typical HSR RoWs in rural Europe are 30-40m. However, that doesn't always include access roads, electrification, etc. Alto says 60m includes all this:
It's probably padding a bit and will refined over time. And will have cut outs in different spots. I strongly suspect they are also planning for 3-4 tracks from the start, even if that's not what is being delivered at launch.
