I can try.
Regrettably, I can't necessarily say I'm an expert in what we are expecting in terms of ridership. I can tell you anecdotally from our perspective, because of the tax credit, we would expect a slight increase in transit ridership in municipalities, for example in Winnipeg. Would it be a marked increase in transit ridership? We don't expect that. That would be my first sense as to that program.
Having said that, we take no issue with the federal government putting that tax credit in place. That is fine with us. While the federal government was addressing transit ridership through the implementation of a tax credit, we would hope that wouldn't in some way be a substitute for hard infrastructure funding in our communities.
I would hope there is room for both programs. That would be my hope, my request, and my answer. I hope that one would not be a substitute for the other.
