Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm just looking at the current national transportation policy. It talks about “a safe, economic, efficient and adequate network of viable and effective transportation services accessible to persons with disabilities and that makes the best use of all available modes of transportation at the lowest total cost”. It goes on to talk about the “highest practicable safety standards”. It doesn't speak as much to the environment. However, I think it would be fair to say that Canadian society is involved to a certain extent.
Given that we do have the details in the current transportation policy, which is the current Canada Transportation Act, it would make sense to reinforce those principles, including the issue of sustainability, in this bill that we are bringing forward that provides amendments.
I think Mr. McGuinty is correct, though. I would argue that it's perfectly logical and reasonable for us to do that, because I think that's certainly what the Canadian public is looking to. It would hopefully guide government policy.
