I understand that, Mr. Webb. I'm not disputing anything you're saying.
This is a relatively new phenomenon. Within the last 10 years, there's been this dramatic increase. I've quite frankly seen it anecdotally, in addition to empirical evidence, in my riding. In Cobourg, there's an area where the 401 snakes a little bit. It is not unusual for there to be a transport truck that's gone off the road there.
This didn't happen five or 10 years ago. It's backed up by the empirical evidence of an 80% increase in Ontario and 88% in Alberta over the last 10 years, which has greatly outstripped the growth in transportation and the population growth.
Is there anything that you can point to that was different in 2023 from it was in 2015? If you can't, that's fine. It's more than fair.
