At this time, the route HFR will travel is not yet finalized. The Government of Canada has announced that Canada’s new rail service on dedicated passenger tracks would travel between Toronto and Québec City, passing through Peterborough, Ottawa, Montréal and Trois-Rivières. Technical analysis and discussions with communities and Indigenous Peoples are ongoing to further our journey towards a final route selection. Some of this work will be done in collaboration with a private-sector development partner. To deliver this ambitious vision and project, the Government of Canada is proposing a co-development approach to implement the HFR project. After the conclusion of a competitive procurement process, which has already commenced, and through the RFQ and RFP stages, the government will engage the selected partner to advance and optimize the design and scope of the HFR project.
