Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his advocacy.
While cycling is primarily a local issue that is the responsibility of municipalities, provinces and territories, our government is showing leadership on numerous cycling-related matters. We would agree with the hon. member that there is more to do.
Our government is involved in efforts to improve safety for cyclists through federal, provincial and territorial task forces. A report has been completed, and we are examining that report. This report is an important step in advancing awareness and addressing key safety concerns.
Infrastructure Canada also supports active transportation through infrastructure programming, and the Public Health Agency of Canada continues efforts to increase physical activity opportunities for Canadians.
We will continue to support active transportation through work on existing task forces and of course by listening to some excellent advice from the hon. member opposite.
