My brother-in-law is your constituent, by the way, as is my sister-in-law. I'm sure they say hello.
Building cities that are oriented towards public transit, walking and cycling is done worldwide, and we can learn from those best examples. For example, the Broadway subway, once built, will change your neighbourhood for the better. It's an example of system-wide thinking.
There are many excellent examples of cities that are taking bold steps—London, with its “ultra low emission zone”, and Paris and others—to densify their city around public transit, walking and cycling, which dramatically reduces the need for people to rely on cars, whether they're clean or not.
We can do that in all of our cities across Canada. It has nothing to do with attacking the oil and gas industry. It's about building better, more affordable places for people to live in that are easier to get around in and less expensive, greener and more pleasant to live in. If you build a city around transit, walking and cycling, that's the result. That's why so many cities globally are taking those steps.
