In a nutshell, I could sum it up in one word: growth. We have 1,000 new people arriving in this city every month. We need this connectivity, given our geographic size. As I alluded to earlier in my comments, we're 350 square kilometres. We're huge. We have to find another mechanism of connecting people within the community and light rail is critically important.
