Transport Committee on Sept. 6th, 2024

[Xavier Barsalou-Duval, Bloc, Pierre-Boucher—Les Patriotes—Verchères, QC]

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'm going to vote against the subamendment because it just rephrases the proposal made by Mr. Bachrach a little earlier. There may be some interest in condemning the bus transportation system and the fact that the federal government is not interested in it. Interprovincial transportation could fall under federal jurisdiction, but, to my knowledge, the federal government has given up on managing buses.

I would just like to mention that it is important for us to focus on the incident that occurred at Via Rail last weekend, on Labour Day. Right now, we are all over the map. I think we need to focus on why we're here today. We have to move things forward, invite witnesses and begin the work.

[The Chair, Liberal, Peter Schiefke]

Thank you, Mr. Barsalou‑Duval.

We'll go to a vote on the amendment proposed by Mr. Muys.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0)

Colleagues, the clerk and I will now work diligently to ensure that these meetings are set up as requested. Thank you all very much.

With that, this meeting is adjourned.
