Minister, people across this country are calling on you to articulate a vision for passenger bus transportation that replaces the service that Greyhound provided for decades. This is a service that needs to connect people across provinces, not just within provinces.
The risk here is that we end up with a fragmented system where people aren't able to get across the country by bus, because there are simply too many different operators and there isn't the consistency that was once offered.
What leadership role is the minister willing to play to ensure that there's a national conversation about connecting Canadians by passenger bus? What leadership is he willing to offer?
