Absolutely. What's important for us and our members is the understanding of the critical nature of infrastructure in this country, the importance of urban transit within that broader question in the larger and medium-sized communities, and the negative economic impacts of the lack of effective urban transit, or transport en commun.
It is really important to have leadership from the federal government that focuses on the infrastructure question and the transit within it, focuses on the principles of a national approach to these questions, and then puts some resources on the table that leverage other resources. The federal government plays a hugely important role in this country in bringing leadership to a question, and then bringing the nation to focus on how to advance our country with respect to that question.
As in cases like the economic action plan--or go all the way back to the railway that was built across the prairies by Sir John A. Macdonald's gang--we're saying that with infrastructure and the subset question of urban transit, the focus of federal leadership brings attention to the issue that allows us to overcome national challenges.
