NYC to Montreal is not part of the NEC; the NEC is solely the portion from DC to Boston.

That said, the NYC-Montreal and Boston-Toronto lines are lines that absolutely should be dedicated high-speed passenger rail in addition to the NEC, but they are not even dedicated passenger rail lines at the moment let alone proper 220mph HSR lines.

To top it all off, Toronto-NY is one of the busiest air routes in the world, by number of scheduled flights.
