Mr. Speaker, National Transportation Week is being observed from May 29 to June 7.
This week serves as an opportunity to highlight the importance of transportation in the economic and social development of Quebec. From work to play, from travel to the supply of goods, different means of transportation contribute every day to our quality of life.
This week also gives us an opportunity to pay tribute to the thousands of men and women working in road, rail, air and maritime transportation.
This week promotes awareness of the challenges facing our people and our industries, in particular road infrastructure, safety, technology, environmental effects and the development of green fuels. This is the time for choices.
That is why the Bloc Québécois is offering a long-term vision of the future of transportation for the well-being of the people of Quebec.
