Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for this very relevant question. She explained the situation very well in her preamble.
And that is why I would like to come back to the national transportation strategy proposed by my hon. colleague, our transport critic, in her bill.
I hope the Conservatives will have a look at it, because what we really need is a comprehensive vision—one that involves investing in infrastructure and investing in our economy, especially our regional economies. This vision involves protecting the environment and protecting our roads, which would be better for everyone if they were in better shape.
Indeed, my hon. colleague painted a clear picture of the situation. Bill C-52 is merely a drop in the bucket in terms of this problem. A much more comprehensive, more overall vision is needed.
We in the NDP have a vision that includes the economy, the environment and a national transportation strategy.
