Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to present two petitions of great interest to all Canadians.
The first one is with respect to fast, reliable, and affordable public transit. The petitioners are asking for the government to provide long-term, predictable, and non-partisan funding for public transit now. We have to take into consideration that it is costing the GTA economy $6 billion in lost productivity and that the average daily commute is about 80 minutes. We can see that there is a big need.
