Thank you.
As somebody from the east coast of Canada, I celebrate the potential of the green economy, and I am so pleased that Bill C-49 has passed and that we can start to get to work.
I'm going to quickly use the time I have left to speak to you, Ms. Paleczny. Thank you for your comments and the work you're doing in urban transit.
I come from the east coast, from Newfoundland and Labrador. We haven't had a train for 75 years. It's a big province, and yes, we rely on buses. I want to focus on urban transit and the link to housing, how part of the housing strategy is the need to ensure that transit is available to people, especially in affordable rental spaces.
Can you speak to the very real link between housing, meeting housing needs for all Canadians, and public transit? Also, can you speak to how important it is to align public transit with the realities of public transit in the region in Canada we're speaking of?
