Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her remarks. There was much in her speech that I found compelling.
I want to mention one thing that we did not see in the fall economic statement: help for public transit across Canada. On January 26, the mayors of Canada's biggest cities called on the federal government for support for transit operating shortfalls. That support is not in the economic statement. It still has not been forthcoming from the government.
I wonder if my colleague would support that call so we can ensure we do not have a downward spiral and degradation of transit services in the future.
