That's an excellent question.
We certainly are looking for long-term commitments. We certainly need the investment in public transportation.
CUTA has taken a look at our 2006-10 budget, and we need $20.7 billion. And we need to have a long-term investment so we can plan to increase the ridership, which will go to the core values of the economy and health of cities. We're really looking at the long-term investment, because we need to plan.
Public transit, too, is about more than just the operation of public transit; it's about the public transit business industry we also have--the builders of the subway cars and the builders of the buses and the suppliers. So it really goes to the economy of Canada.
Without a long-term, sustainable funding program, it's very hard for transit operators such as me to make long-term plans to grow the ridership and replace our vehicles and our infrastructure. So long-term, sustainable funding is really paramount to us. It not only goes to the economies of the cities, but also to the parts manufacturers and the builders of public transit vehicles.
