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.
