Thank you.
Mr. Chairman, I just spent a little over 17 years working in downtown Toronto, so I am a fan of things that improve urban congestion.
I think my point was that it doesn't help everybody everywhere. We really do have to prioritize where scarce dollars are spent. I used Union Pearson as an example of something that plainly has not delivered. Maybe one day it will. We can keep hoping, I guess, but don't hold your breath.
The other point about transportation is whether you are talking about moving goods, getting people to markets, or just improving congestion. Congestion is a thing to be addressed, and addressing it is a thing of value, but is it the most important one?
Looking at things from an Atlantic perspective, highways are actually not that bad. We do have a choke point, which is important to the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia economies, in particular, and that is the highways in eastern Quebec. Your infrastructure investment in eastern Quebec would be very helpful to people who are shipping goods to and from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and P.E.I.
You need to do the analysis.
