Thank you, Madam Chair, and thanks to Minister Sohi and his staff.
I want to focus on transit, which is a favourite subject of mine. I've been working in that sector, as in fact has Minister Sohi.
I want to start not so much with the big city transit, but in fact quite the opposite. We've heard a few times of the difficulties and dangers involved with the absence or growing absence of intercity transit services, up north especially, in remote areas. I know that in British Columbia, along the Yellowhead highway, which is also called the “Highway of Tears”, it's an issue not just of mobility but of safety, especially for first nations women. Has there been any thought of...or, more particularly, have there been any submissions for infrastructure funding to establish and operate that kind of service?
