You're absolutely right; social issues should be included in there.
I was part of a summit last week on reducing poverty, and one of the thrusts of the conversation highlighted the importance of effective public transit as one way of helping to level the playing field and enabling those who are less fortunate to move easily around the city and go to and from jobs.
Certainly, investments in infrastructure have a strong social benefit along the lines of poverty reduction, as I was just mentioning, but also in terms of enhancing the quality of life for seniors and the quality of life for immigrants. These are the populations that disproportionately use public transit. Investments in public transit and investments in infrastructure help to create, as I said, a more level playing field for the various groups and those less fortunate than others in our society
