Thank you kindly, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for their informative presentations. I am going to focus more on the issue of public transit.
I will begin with Mr. Mahar until Mr. Roschlau is ready.
Mr. Mahar, you mentioned that Canada was the only G8 country without a national public transit strategy. I assume you wish there were one in place.
Could you tell me how many OECD countries have a public transit strategy? Could you list the ideal components of such a strategy, in 3 to 5 points? What does a national transit strategy need to have so that the federal government can make effective investments in public transit?
