My question is to the Premier.

The government’s only plan to alleviate traffic will take at least a decade. Meanwhile, it refuses to look at the 407. The NDP has put forward a cost-effective, smart solution to make better use of the 407. It is simple: Take the tolls off for trucks; get things moving. It’s good for business and gives commuters room to breathe.

So my question is, will this government recognize a good idea and remove 407 tolls for truckers?

Any Ontarian can tell you that Highway 407 is terribly underused. If the government would get out of the Queen’s Park bubble, they’d find the 407 sitting half empty while the 401 stays bumper to bumper. It makes no sense.

We have infrastructure we aren’t being smart about. We need to better use existing highways.

This government needs to do something about the 407. Specifically, will this government recognize a smart idea and remove 407 tolls for trucks?

Interjections.

Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier.

It seems like each day, this government gives Ontarians another reason not to believe them. They say one thing and then do another. They make a promise just to break it. In my community of Scarborough, we know this all too well. Scarborough’s transit has been left to decay by this government, while commuters, families and students are left out in the cold. When do they show up? When it benefits them.

The former Conservative MPP for Milton jumped ship from the caucus after years of scandals, and now that there’s a by-election, the Premier and his minister finally found Milton on a map. They showed up to make a transit announcement about the UP Express that, only days later, they would—you guessed it—reverse.

My question to the Premier: How is anyone supposed to believe you will get anything done when you can’t even finish what you’ve started?
