In 15 seconds, just to comment, it seems like the demand has rebounded but there are still transit assets that aren't in service. There are 1,700 fewer buses in service than before. In fact, there were fewer buses in service across the country in 2022 than there were in 2013, and it seems like the challenge is operating funds. The challenge isn't ridership; the demand has rebounded, but the operating support isn't there.
That's the ask: It's for the federal government to look closely at that, given the emissions reduction objectives and given all of the promises of public transit.
I understand you're not going to have time to respond, but I just wanted to give you a clear indication of where I was coming from.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, for your forbearance, as always.
