It plays a major role. It is no coincidence if we see increasing numbers of chambers of commerce say that an integrated approach by all levels of government in the area of public transit is essential. This is the case of the Toronto Board of Trade and the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal.
In short, according to the chambers of commerce, the Montreal region lost $1.4 billion per year in 2009 and previously. Now, I imagine that things are different. In Toronto, we are talking about approximately $6 billion. According to the chambers of commerce, their members are losing money. People need to use the roads for trade, be it business representatives or for the transportation of goods. People who don't need to use their car—what we call solo driving—should be able to use efficient public transit systems, which would clearly stimulate national productivity.
