AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) In 1990 and 1992 Westrail entered into a cross-border lease for the supply of urban railcars. In December 1998 Westrail entered into another cross-border lease for freight rolling stock and urban railcars. (2) The value of the rolling stock under the cross-border lease is part of the sale process, and I am happy to advise the member of this once the sale is finalised. (3) None. The lease is fully defeased. (4) The expiry date of the basic lease term varies from January 2011 to January 2018.
