But we still must be specific. Earlier, you talked about traffic jams. This is a reality.
We can philosophize as long as we like, but I am trying to understand what specifically is meant by a national public transit strategy. The relationship between the federal government and the municipalities is not bilateral. The provinces are involved as well.
Anyway, how are we to implement a national strategy when we want standards? We cannot establish national standards. You talked about Toronto. In Montreal, it must take 95 minutes to get back and forth to work, what with all the holes you have to drive around.
Do you think that we can really look to a national strategy to deal with problems such as traffic jams? Aren't you really saying:
“Give us the money and we'll take care of it”?
