It will surely help to make sure that with all the plans we're putting in place in the economy, like the gateways, we can really integrate transit and make it part of that. What we're really talking about is a policy framework, and not really a strategy.
We've just conducted a study, and we were looking at about 30 elements of what could be a framework. Obviously you need to make sure it fits with the local, provincial, and national priorities. For instance, we know that the federal government has a plan on the economy. They have a plan on the gateways. They will be looking at innovation in the next few years, with the Jenkins report being one of the core elements.
When considering all of that we need to make sure we have all the partners around the table to look at how public transit will fit into this broad spectrum. To do that you need to know where you're going and why you're investing $1 billion a year in transit.
