Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport. Recently the minister gave an address outlining the government's plans to systematically dismantle the transportation system in this country. It should have been entitled "Goodbye to the National Dream". The minister calls his plan commercialization but it is clear that he means privatization and it will affect 75 per cent of the department's activities.
I ask the minister to be clear with Canadians. His policy clearly follows the Tory royal commission on transport.
I would like to ask the minister to explain how his plan to commercialize is different from the plan of the Tories to privatize which he opposed so vehemently in the last Parliament?
