HFR only covers Corridor East. There's still Corridor West.
But one positive is that once you have one decent line, the business case for every connecting line gets better. This has been the experience elsewhere. If Corridor East and West happen, the case for investments in the Ocean, the Northlander and even the Seneterre and Joncquiere trains will get a lot better. Maybe not the Canadian. But these regional trains become a lot more appealing when connecting to HFR that will them actually go another 400 km in a travel day.
