The main voices behind the Ottawa Board of Trade, Invest Ottawa, and Ottawa Tourism have penned a letter to Alto President Martin Imbleau about installing a high-speed rail station in Ottawa’s Downtown Core.

However, critics say there are bigger fish to fry, pointing out the massive risks associated with building in Downtown areas. Look no further than the Rideau Street sinkhole from 10 years ago. And now, we are hearing from Imbleau himself, as he poured cold water on the present-day Senate Building being listed as a possible option. So what does the ‘perfect spot’ look like? He goes 1-on-1 with Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.
