Thank you, Madam Chair.
My question is directed to Wendy. I am going to mind my time, as I'm sharing it with my colleague.
As my riding name—Mississauga-Streetsville—suggests, I'm one of the MPs from Mississauga. It is the sixth-largest city in Canada, second in the GTA. According to the 2016 census, we have 721,000 people. Securing funding is of high priority. I was very pleased that we had the announcement of nearly $339 million for public transit.
I believe the Canadian Urban Transit Association projects ridership of transit operating systems and relays these estimates to the government for review. Could you please tell the committee a little bit more about how you perform this research of ridership projection?
