Transit System Improvements

OTTAWA-Mike Wallace, Member of Parliament for Burlington today addressed the House of Commons on improvements in our transit system and our environment.

He told the House, "about the $23 Million investment this new government made in the GO transit system in my community on December 20 of last year. This work includes a new and additional third track and the widening and extending of the platforms at all three of our Burlington GO train stations.

We are investing in environmentally sound transportation such as a commuter rail. This will help ease traffic congestion, combat smog and reduce greenhouse gases.

In my community, our new government has done more for transit and the fight against GHG's in one year than the Liberals did in 10 years. We set priorities. We get things done. Canadians cannot afford to go back."
