AI Article Summary
A high-speed rail project is being planned between Toronto and Quebec City, which could significantly increase the number of trains operating daily along this corridor. The Crown corporation in charge has projected that up to 72 passenger trains could run each day.

What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how infrastructure expansions can drive demands for labor and materials as well as potential challenges in obtaining permits and securing funding. For Canadian builders, this means a possible increase in project opportunities along the corridor, but also associated logistics like managing supply chain costs and timelines. The high-speed rail project could also impact local economies and necessitate advancements in prefabrication technology to meet construction demands.
