Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise virtually today to present a petition on behalf of newer constituents who are concerned about Canada's public transit policy and, specifically, sustainable public transit funding. The government's initial 10-year transit plan, and the funding that municipalities can count upon, will end in a few years, in 2027.
The petitioners are calling on the government to follow the requests and advice of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and ensure that it is consistent with our climate objectives and sustainable. Affordability is also a very key issue in ground transit and access to adequate, safe, reliable public transit.
The petitioners are calling on the government to extend and ensure sustainable support for public transit across Canada.
