A private-sector development partner will be chosen based on its demonstrated capacity to deliver the High Frequency Rail project with the best benefits for Canadians. It will be asked to present its analysis for a technically and commercially feasible solution, along with a business plan and management plan for the co-development, construction and operation phases of the project. The Government of Canada will also be looking for:  how the solutions meet or exceed the project outcomes; understanding of the project and its associated risks; partnership and collaborative strategies for Indigenous Peoples; and readiness and capacity to proceed. This strategy will drive respondents to maximize project outcomes.
