Mr. Speaker, I too want to thank my riding neighbour for his speech.
He talked a lot about infrastructure. There is an infrastructure fund that has been very useful for his riding and mine. The Conservatives voted against that fund. It is the rural transit solutions fund.
My riding and my colleague's riding are now connected by a public transit system, which is something our ridings did not have before. My colleagues can imagine how hard it was not having public transit. Now we do have public transit in our ridings thanks to the programs that the government implemented.
Could my colleague tell us how this program has helped people in his region get to other regions?
Could he also tell us how even tourists to our region are now able to benefit from this new service?
