Yes, I would.
DRL is a kind of unique situation, because the bus line actually replaced the Newfoundland railway. It was previously operated by CN. There is kind of a responsibility to keep that running that is separate from the other responsibilities in the network.
For example, if I wanted to go from Corner Brook in Newfoundland to Hay River today, I could do it, but it would usually be complicated and there would be a lot of different tickets. I can't even get a ticket that takes me on VIA Rail, Marine Atlantic and then Maritime Bus to go to Moncton. This is where the idea of a national clearing house is absolutely essential.
You'll find that companies like BusBud that are trying to do this want a cut as brokers. A lot of the bus companies I've spoken to don't have 10% to give a broker. That's why it has to be a non-profit, national clearing house that is operator-agnostic and that everybody can work with. That's where the federal government can really have a role. It's in creating that by working with Motor Coach Canada and with players across the industry.
What does this need to look like to support the industry rather than to take money from it?
