Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present two more petitions from citizens of the Peterborough area who would like to see VIA service restored between Toronto and Peterborough.
The petitioners point out that this would help Canada meet its commitments in the Kyoto accord.
They also point out that this service would improve the economy of the Greater Toronto area and of the Peterborough area and would improve, in particular, employment mobility in the Peterborough area.
The petitioners are heartened by the transport minister's welcome of the Ontario government's decision to resume funding for municipal transit.
