I worked with Prime Minister Martin—no relation to our new colleague—as the Canada Line was being developed. I've followed with great interest the rise in sophistication of public transit in the Lower Mainland, in Vancouver and in surrounding cities. I am well aware that public transportation will probably always be an issue. Governments struggle to keep up with demand and with capacity constraints.
I'm very glad, as you are, obviously, that we are spending this very substantial sum of money on improvements to the system, on new buses and on electrifying and making cleaner our public transit. I've appreciated your advocacy on this to bring the very real perspective of the needs of folks perhaps outside of the dense city core who really rely on public transportation and who require us to continue investing in it. Thank you for that.
