Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The more we discuss it, the more I am in favour of this amendment. It's a fact that the law of the marketplace exists, but in mass transportation, particularly at the regional transportation level, it's important for a government or a regional administration to have a policy strategy. It gives greater importance to the measures and the strategies used by governments to reach the right objectives. That does not prevent the law of the marketplace from coming into play.
At some point, the government may help by investing in a mode of transportation when the cost is required by the law of the marketplace. The law of the marketplace exists, but the government strategy to implement a mode of transportation remains essential as well. That is what the amendment does. The law of the marketplace cannot exist alone. We cannot rely on the law of the marketplace.
In my region, for example, we need a train to the suburbs. We’re not doing it because there has been no government decision. There is the law of the marketplace, but that alone does not solve the problem. So that gives importance to the strategy. That’s why I will vote in favour of the amendment.
