Public consultations have launched for Canada’s proposed high-speed rail network, promising to cut travel times between Ottawa and Toronto to under two hours.

Chief strategic policy officer Marc-Olivier Ranger and senior director Peter Paz outline the vision, while residents like Gord Boulton and Ben Hammer weigh in on potential station locations, including the Senate of Canada Building.
