Mr. Speaker, I rise once again to table petitions regarding the Algoma passenger train.
The petitioners indicate that the economic impact in Northern Ontario is huge. A $2.2 million subsidy was giving a return of over $48 million in economic stability.
The petitioners are concerned that this train is still not on the rails. They are asking that the Minister of Transport put the Algoma passenger train back in service in order to ensure the mission of Transport Canada, which is “To serve the public interest through the promotion of a safe and secure, efficient and environmentally responsible transportation system in Canada”.
