In terms of accessibility it's had quite an impact, and accessible transit is in communities big and small across the country. A lot of people who work in that industry are casual or part-time. Because of the lack of ridership, there have been some layoffs. It's really important that those lifelines will be there for those people who rely on those services, especially once day programs get started up, for example, for seniors or the developmentally challenged. Oftentimes when cuts are made, we want to make sure those who need it the most aren't the hardest hit. That's why we think it's important that both senior levels of government get together as soon as possible.
