Mr. Speaker, one way of raising the issue is to ask questions and have the minister respond.
If he has travelled in Quebec, he should realize that the president of Orléans Express, one of the main bus companies in Quebec, has said that the federal bill could deprive some 100 municipalities in Quebec of intercity transport.
Would the minister explain, for example, how a circuit such as the one in the Gaspé, which loses up to $1 million annually, could operate without link cross-subsidization? Does he realize that he is signing the death warrant of bus transportation in Quebec?
