I think a lot of us were pleased to see the announcement around the permanent transit fund. That's something we have been calling for in the NDP for a long time.

We were a bit surprised that the permanent transit fund won't actually kick in until 2026. From your organization's perspective, would it be beneficial to move that date up and begin the permanent transit fund so that municipalities and transit authorities have that certainty as soon as possible?
