Mark Adler Conservative York Centre, ON

I represent a riding in Toronto, the riding of York Centre in the north end, and before I got into politics my office was downtown at Bay and Richmond. If I left at my normal time of 6 a.m. or 6:30, it would take me under 30 minutes to get downtown. If I left during rush hour or came home during rush hour, it would take well over an hour and sometimes an hour and a half.

Is it a lack of attention to public transit or is it a lack of infrastructure? There's a huge economic cost to people spending an hour and a half in a car or on a bus. Could you comment on that?
