Thank you, Doug.
I'd like to conclude by saying that for us the key issue is inclusion in a national transit strategy. For far too long, private bus operators have been on the sidelines of the policy debate over transit services. The development of a new national transit strategy is an opportunity for the government to recognize that we do in fact play an important role in the transportation system and that we can be part of the effort to meet the challenge of providing more and better transit services to the people of Canada.
You can help us to help you improve transit in this country by encouraging competitive tendering for the provision of bus operations, by removing the tax, safety, and other policy distinctions that discriminate against private operators and prevent us from operating on the same level as public systems, and by preventing public systems from competing with existing privately run services.
Thank you for giving us this opportunity. We look forward to your questions.
