Should there be a long-term infrastructure plan and should there be some resources earmarked for such a plan—whether it be a program, indexation of the gas tax or something else—specific resources could be allocated to the municipalities that need them for public transit. However, it is important for us to adopt a more comprehensive perspective that is not restricted to public transit alone. We are talking about municipal infrastructure, a national program and national principles enabling us to do what needs to be achieved locally.
