Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It must be star power that brings you here, Mr. Minister, because I've met with Mr. Julian three times--even once in his office--to bring your concerns to light. I'm now aware that he doesn't like me quite as much as you--but I'll deal with that.
My question really revolves around Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, and of course our caucus members never stop talking about how important those places are and how we can make their lives better. I'm curious as to what your vision is on a general overall strategy, especially in those areas, to promote increased transit ridership because of the environment and infrastructure and energy use, and how we can tie that in with a general overall Canadian approach.
