A quick look at history shows us that discussions around transportation in Canada date back to pre-Confederation days, when the railway and boat were the primary modes of transport. Since then, transportation has greatly evolved, but with the same emphasis on free, accessible transport between provinces. COVID19, while grounding everyone in place, has also seen quite some discussion on how transportation will look in a post-pandemic world, with questions surrounding remote access, the future of public transportation and the role of the government in public transportation. With us today is policy whiz Matt Pelletier to chat about Federal Transportation Policy, COVID19, and what effective transport looks like on PEI.
