514 it says VIA is planning on using Rail Diesel Cars (RDCs) for the Eastern Intercity service (which apparently VIA refurbished for this purpose). This is also mentioned in both the
2018-2022 and
2019-2023 Corporate Plans. Since RDCs have cabs at both ends, there would be no need for a cab car. They would only be needed for the Ocean.

There are enough budd sleepers around for the Ocean once they are finished being refurbished.

I'm not so sure. They have 40 Manor Cars and 29 Chateau cars for a total of 69 (not including Park cars). If they have 4 consists, for the Canadian, each needing up to 15 sleepers per train in peak season (not sure the maximum they use, but I know they can be long), that's 60. The train to Churchil will need a few, so that isn't leaving all that many spares.
