Mr. Speaker, I was flattered to note how many colleagues had voted in favour of Motion M-360 yesterday evening in the House.
Encouraging the use of public transit is a giant step in support of the environment. Furthermore, modern forms of transportation must make a strong contribution to the fight against pollution, since they move noiselessly, pollution free and are quick and light.
This is why I support the construction of a monorail on the Champlain Bridge estacade, as it will help fight pollution, reduce traffic on the bridge and above all significantly develop the economy of my beautiful riding of Verdun—Saint-Henri, the southwest and greater Montreal.
I note that the vast majority of my colleagues are sensitive to the environment and such positive action must be acknowledged publicly.
