Suburbs should be better linked to the central cities and their HSR stations with rapid transit.

Ideally, we should be serving downtown centres. But that's an ideal.
How many years and how many billions do you want to spend trying to move Ottawa's station from Tremblay to downtown or trying to reach downtown Montreal without the Mount Royal Tunnel? These guys are prioritizing getting shovels in the ground. We can fix our quibbles with this when we find the billions extra in 20 years.
