Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague on his re-election. I would like to focus my hon. colleague's attention on a particular type of infrastructure that is extremely important to urban Canada and the residents of my riding of Vancouver Kingsway, which is public transit.
My hon. colleague is familiar with the many salutary aspects of public transit, such as reducing congestion. Gridlock costs our economy billions of dollars a year, and moving people efficiently in urban and rural areas is a critically important aspect of dealing with climate change.
Does the member have any comments on that issue? What would he like to see the government do in terms of moving money faster and more productively out the door so that Canadians from coast to coast, businesses and our communities can get the public transit they so urgently need?
