My question is for the Associate Minister of Transportation.

Many commuters and families, myself included, in my riding of Brampton North rely on the GO train network to get to downtown Toronto and to travel across the rest of the GTA. Those same commuters and families were left behind when the previous Liberal government broke their promises on GO Transit service. Because of their failed leadership, our government inherited a transit system that was outdated and in need of many improvements.

That’s why our government must build transit infrastructure that will improve travel, create local jobs and boost our economy.

Speaker, can the associate minister please explain how our government is bringing fast and convenient GO Transit services for the people in my riding and across Ontario?

Our government must continue to build Ontario by delivering on our commitment to bring relief and new opportunities to transit users.

Speaker, can the associate minister please elaborate on the progress our government is making on expanding the GO Transit network to get it done for commuters all across our province?

Speaker, let’s be clear: This government is taking the biggest transit expansion plan in history, at $70.5 billion, and making it a reality for the commuters in this province. This includes the GO expansion program.

Interjection.

Interjections.

Despite the heckling of the opposition, who opposes transit even in their own ridings, we’re getting it done.

For example, Milliken GO train station has a fine new east platform and a south tunnel for riders. That’s not the only enhancement we’re bringing. We’re also bringing enhancements such as a second track and platform; canopies and integrated shelters; a renovated existing platform; and two brand new pedestrian tunnels with elevators.

It’s not just about expanding the grid. It’s about making it more affordable. It’s about making the rider experience more enjoyable.

Speaker, this government is getting it done for commuters in this province.
