Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all three of our panellists. I'm really sorry that we can't hear from Ms. Perry, but hopefully we'll be able to receive a brief and some answers to our questions.
I'll start with Dr. Breen.
Your testimony was very interesting. You've written about this dynamic between smaller volunteer-run systems or non-profit systems and their innovation and flexibility, and the flip side of the coin, which is the stability and dependability of larger government-run systems. We're also talking about another dynamic, which is the difference between intercommunity transportation and intercity transit between larger centres across Canada. That is something Greyhound provided. You could book a ticket from Prince George, B.C., all the way to Toronto on a single carrier with an integrated system.
Do we need to think about these systems separately? Do we need to think about intercommunity needs differently from intercity needs? How does that play out in terms of the kinds of solutions we apply to those challenges?
