I think hearings like this are of assistance in bringing the message that senior levels of both governments need to act together, because municipalities are least able to provide all of this operational money. The federal government has been great for capital, and we thank them. It's part of the post-pandemic recovery. However, the argument we're still making is that our transit networks can't be broken over the next few months as we get through this operational rebuilding time. We feel the federal government has a unique role to play along with the provinces. Hopefully, that happens in the next couple of weeks.
