Anthony Marco | Yes | The cost of congestion in the GTA is $5 billion annually. Ontario’s NDP recognizes that we need to provide convenient and affordable transit options to busy Ontario families by putting transit plans back on track.
In the coming weeks, we’ll be announcing more on our plans to tackle the gridlock issue. |
Geoff Peacock | Yes | More transit options may need to be put in place. |
Tim Hudak | Yes | As an MPP from the Hamilton-Niagara Region, like any parent, I know what it is like to be stuck in gridlocked traffic when all I want to do is get home to Niagara to see my family.
When it comes to stable infrastructure spending, for the past eight years all we've seen are backtracks, flip flops and U-turns from the McGuinty Liberals. The same infrastructure projects get announced, reannounced, and sometimes re-re-announced -but never built. This kind of uncertainty will come to an end under an Ontario PC government. We will be a partner you can trust. Unlike Dalton McGuinty, we will not try to be all things to all people or make promises we know we won't keep. An Ontario PC government will invest $35 billion in infrastructure, with a significant portion going towards breaking gridlock and moving people and goods more quickly and efficiently. |
