Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his question.
Those of us who live in large urban centres are all very aware of the effects of summer air pollution. I am very pleased to announce to the House that the federal government will contribute $200,000 to the establishment of a centre on sustainable transportation in Toronto.
This centre of excellence will provide leadership in achieving sustainable transportation systems in Canada. It will contribute to a cleaner environment. It will improve health for Canadians. It is a tremendous opportunity for Canadian business and another fine example of many levels of government working together.
