Mr. Chairman, some of these issues are valuable.
All of us have been lobbied by the Canadian urban transit people. I don't think any of us disagree with their issues.
In fact, I suspect that the government members opposite, in their submission--I guess it was about two weeks ago--that we modify the mandate for the high-speed rail to include the coordination of regional and urban transit systems into whatever system will be recommended by this committee in its study, already encompass all of the points made in this.
In fact, on the latter part of that study on high-speed rail, if my memory serves me correctly—you'll be able to correct me, Mr. Chairman, and if not you, certainly the clerk—the committee has already asked the steering committee to put aside at least one or two sessions in the closing of its study of high-speed rail to bring in witnesses on the integration of local transit authorities and regional transit authorities.
So I don't know what somebody is asking the committee to do that it's not already in the process of doing. I guess I'm in a position where...you can't say no to good weather, but we already have the good weather.
So I say thanks to the member from Trinity—Spadina, but at least as far as the three members of the Liberal Party are concerned, we've already committed ourselves to doing this, in principle and in fact.
