Ms. Bhutila Karpoche

I’d like to thank the member from Windsor–Tecumseh for his presentation. A question regarding schedule 6 of this bill: Schedule 6 prohibits tolls on highways, but those highways that the government is “removing tolls from” are highways that already don’t have tolls. The one highway that does have true tolls is Highway 407, and this bill does not remove the tolls on Highway 407. It’s the same highway where this government inexplicably waived a billion dollars in congestion penalties.

Can the member please explain, why would you remove tolls on highways that don’t have tolls but keep the tolls on highways that do have tolls?
