Transport committee  We'll get you everything we've got. I'll send you a great report that the McGuinty government commissioned. I can tell you the great thing about this challenging economic time we've been through. There's really an unprecedented amount of cooperation going on with the Liberal government.

Transport committee  There are no applications before any government body, federally, provincially, municipally, that I'm aware of for the twinning of the Ambassador Bridge. Some like to leave the impression they're all ready to go, that if the government would just stamp their form they could twin that bridge tomorrow, when in fact a huge amount of work has been done by successive Ontario governments, by this and the previous federal government, by the city.

Transport committee  We're making major investments for a new plaza. We acquired about 80% of the lands in the city of Windsor. There's just overwhelming support, especially for the Windsor–Essex parkway. We have 17 traffic lights through Windsor. This, in many respects, is not a Windsor problem. It's a Quebec problem.

Transport committee  Let me see if I can just jump in to respond very quickly. Traffic in the first four months was up by 20%—22% at Detroit. That's huge, but the bottom line is that when Pepsi has the monopoly and Coke wants to come into town, Pepsi is not exactly going to be excited and supportive and necessarily upfront with that.

Transport committee  That's correct.

Transport committee  As one of the political ministers for Ontario, I think we're deeply concerned about unemployment. You've certainly been very active in ensuring that the government is aware of that. The economy in Windsor–Essex is experiencing real trouble. We've been I think pretty generous to that community in terms of the infrastructure stimulus fund.

Transport committee  Sure, I'd be happy to send it to you.

Transport committee  We did a good amount of public transit with the infrastructure stimulus fund, the $4 billion fund. It was by no means a good fund to support large-scale capital—

Transport committee  Public transit wasn't eligible.

Transport committee  There was lots of it, more than $2 billion. We'll get you the specific breakdown, if you like. The Building Canada fund is a natural one for large projects. For example, in the city of Toronto, some $600-odd million went to the Sheppard...the Spadina subway extension. Part of it was from CSIF, the previous government's program; there were a lot of unallocated funds there.

Transport committee  Toronto didn't make an application under the Building Canada fund for streetcars. I'll say that when it came to Toronto, we took their priorities.

Transport committee  It was Spadina.

Transport committee  No, it wasn't; it was Spadina. That was their number one priority. The number two priority was Scarborough LRT. The number three priority was Union Station. We completely adopted the Metrolinx priorities. But every time we make an announcement, all of a sudden a new priority says, you're not funding our priority.

Transport committee  We're not planning to act; I think we are acting. I look around this room and I see a lot of pictures of politicians. If you were to have pictures of politicians who have supported public transit on a year-to-year basis in the city of Toronto, at the federal level the person who has funded the most would be Stephen Harper.

Transport committee  The TSB came forward with the watch list, which we welcomed. One of the concerns that I've had—and I can ask my deputy to expand on this, and I think your party has certainly spoken up loudly on this—is with the Business Aviation Association basically being the regulator of themselves and a lobby group at the same time.
