It is not a very expensive measure. Federally, however, this has not been done. Quebec workers do not pay tax on the transit allowance they receive from their employers. This measure does not exist federally. It exists in the United States, in France and in England. We think other provinces would be interested. Ontario has already discussed it. In some municipalities, transit companies already offer this measure; transit allowances, however, are not tax-exempt.
