Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I wish to present a petition signed by over 60,000 residents of the greater Montreal area.
As part of its “Laissez-nous respirer”, or let us breathe, campaign, the Quebec coalition for public transit, which started this petition, is calling on the Canadian government to commit to fund public transit, not only to eliminate the operating deficits of Quebec transportation companies but, more importantly, to give them the means to develop and improve services.
