Imbleau did say that Jean-Lesage Airport in Quebec City is basically off the table, so I highly doubt Macdonald-Cartier would be on the table.

I am guessing the objective would not be the airport as a transportation hub, but the airport as a mechanism to cut the length of the overall route.
The three train problem is a relatively solvable one, certainly in comparison to the cost of getting HSR downtown.
