Mr. Chair, I am very happy to know my colleague is a member of the transportation committee, so he would know that since World War II, most of our Trans-Canada Highway routes have been supported by our federal government. Actually, in 2023, in Newfoundland, our government announced shared funding of the Trans-Canada Highway widening with the province. There are multiple examples. This is simply to say that this weekend I travelled 200 kilometres from my home community of North Bay to New Liskeard. I saw three major accidents with major trucks, one lumber truck, along that particular route. It is a significant problem in my section of Canada that I think is very important to bring forward.
