Speaker, through you, I want to thank the member for Brantford–Brant for an excellent presentation.

We’ve been extremely focused as a government on building convenient transportation and shrinking commute times for hard-working families so they can spend more time together. Speaker, through you, I’d like the member for Brantford–Brant to highlight a little bit more about the efforts that are proposed in this legislation and how that will improve the situation I just described.

I’d like to thank the member from Brantford–Brant for his presentation.

In particular, when we take a look at Bill 162, one thing that I am passionate about is our architectural heritage across this province. Some of the consequences of this government’s plowing ahead with changing different laws without considering their impacts is that, with Bill 23, it’s putting 36,000 heritage properties at risk. They will actually lose their very meagre protections on January 1, 2025.

I wonder if the member could speak about the heritage properties in his riding and how he’s trying to convince the government to give an additional five years so that these properties will continue to have protection.

The member from Brantford–Brant just gave us such a very heartwarming example of the affectionate time you’re able to share with your daughter before you go to work. I know the member is very connected with so many of their residents.

Can you just speak to that connection and the experience and the feeling that your residents have shared with you when it comes to being able to have more time to spend with family rather than being stuck on a highway in traffic in the current congestion that we’re faced with right now?
