It is better for emissions. It is better for clean air in our communities and frankly it allows for a certain amount of freedom, particularly for young people who are too young to even have a driver's licence. It is very important we have a strong public transit system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7844000\" data-originallang=\"en\">That is why it is really important to recognize all of the investments our government has made to date, including, and I will reiterate this, the permanent public transit program, which was introduced in 2021. It provides $14.9 billion over eight years, including $3 billion per year ongoing starting 2026-27. That is how we are going to continue to support public transit.</p>",

Il est tr\u00e8s important d'avoir des r\u00e9seaux de transport en commun solides.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7844000\" data-originallang=\"en\">Voil\u00e0 pourquoi il est tr\u00e8s important de reconna\u00eetre tous les investissements effectu\u00e9s \u00e0 ce jour par le gouvernement, notamment, je le r\u00e9p\u00e8te, le Programme permanent de transport en commun, lanc\u00e9 en 2021, auquel il a affect\u00e9 14,9 milliards de dollars sur huit ans, dont 3 milliards de dollars par ann\u00e9e \u00e0 compter de 2026\u20112027. C'est ainsi que nous continuerons de soutenir le transport en commun.</p>"
