Thank you for that question. The leadership has to come from the federal government, though not all the control.
The way I look at this is that there's a great deal of difference between leadership and control. The federal government needs to actually put some effort behind its desire under the Accessible Canada Act, under its response to the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and under its commitment to reconciliation. That has to be met with effort to get into the details. There is a gap here. The private sector can't fill it at the moment. Why not? Can the public sector fill it? Does it make sense?
It is, as I said in my remarks, a very complex ecosystem. There are tremendous synergies between being a charter bus operator in a region and being the passenger operator. Those economic synergies make it a lot easier to deliver a national network using the private sector as a major partner, but a lot of our bus companies are small, locally owned Canadian and indigenous-owned. If you start a franchising system with a really complicated procurement process, you're going to squeeze them out. They're just not going to put up with that amount of paperwork. Their expertise is running buses.
Therefore, there are no magic solutions here—
