Proposal text
Transportation issues are central to achieving a sustainable economy. All of Canada's principal cities have transport coordination functions integrated with their operations, and typically involve their provinces as well. The national capital region is unique in spanning two provinces,and lacks overall coordination.
•\tThe GPC will advocate for a rational approach to the ground transportation issues of the entire National Capital region;
•\tThe GPC will argue for the creation of a single cross-border infrastructure agency to integrate and optimize the public road and bridge systems of both provinces in the service of the national capital region;
•\tThe GPC will argue for the integration of the public transit functions from both provinces and cities in a single transprovincial organization.
Type of Proposal
Public policy that the party would represent
Objective / Benefit
As residents of Gatineau and of Ottawa, we are well aware of the chaos on the road and bridge systems that span the Ottawa River. There is a lack of coordination in the planning and management of all transport systems, road, bridge, public transit, train and bus, at all governmental levels, municipal, provincial and federal.
This policy proposes to extend the powers of the National Capital Commission that already has a limited brief with respect to infrastructure in the National Capital region, to provide integrated transportation management and services across the region.
If your proposal replaces an existing policy or policies, which one does it replace?
This is new policy. No existing policy addresses the powers of the NCC.
List any supporting evidence for your proposal
None, this is just a good idea.
Does this proposal affect any particular group and what efforts have been made to consult with the group or groups?
There is considerable overlap in the jurisdiction for road and transportation systems between cities and provinces. Added to that confusion in the nation’s capital, the federal government has a strong interest in regional travel for its employees and operations. The existence of the NCC is evidence of the need for an integrating, cross-border, and cross-river standing commission.
Jurisdiction: Is this proposal under federal jurisdiction?
Yes
Please indicate the language the proposal is being submitted in.

Les questions de transport sont essentielles pour parvenir à une économie durable. Toutes les principales villes du Canada ont des fonctions de coordination des transports intégrées à leurs opérations, et impliquent généralement aussi leurs provinces. La région de la capitale nationale a la particularité de s'étendre sur deux provinces et de manquer de coordination globale.
- Le GPC plaidera en faveur d'une approche rationnelle des problèmes de transport terrestre dans l'ensemble de la région de la capitale nationale ;
- Le GPC plaidera pour la création d'une agence d'infrastructure transfrontalière unique afin d'intégrer et d'optimiser les systèmes de routes et de ponts publics des deux provinces au service de la région de la capitale nationale ;
- Le GPC plaidera en faveur de l'intégration des fonctions de transport public des deux provinces et des deux villes dans une organisation transprovinciale unique.
Type de proposition
Politique publique que le parti représenterait
Objectif / Bénéfice
En tant que résidents de Gatineau et d'Ottawa, nous sommes bien conscients du chaos qui règne sur les réseaux routiers et les ponts qui enjambent la rivière des Outaouais. Il y a un manque de coordination dans la planification et la gestion de tous les systèmes de transport, route, pont, transport en commun, train et autobus, à tous les niveaux gouvernementaux, municipal, provincial et fédéral.
Cette politique propose d'étendre les pouvoirs de la Commission de la capitale nationale, qui a déjà un mandat limité en ce qui concerne l'infrastructure dans la région de la capitale nationale, afin de fournir une gestion et des services de transport intégrés dans toute la région.
Si votre proposition remplace une ou plusieurs politiques existantes, laquelle remplace-t-elle ?
Il s'agit d'une nouvelle politique. Aucune politique existante ne traite des pouvoirs de la CCN.
Énumérez toutes les preuves à l'appui de votre proposition
Aucune, il s'agit simplement d'une bonne idée.
Cette proposition affecte-t-elle un groupe particulier et quels efforts ont été faits pour consulter ce groupe ou ces groupes ?
Les compétences en matière de routes et de systèmes de transport se chevauchent considérablement entre les villes et les provinces. En plus de cette confusion dans la capitale nationale, le gouvernement fédéral a un grand intérêt dans les déplacements régionaux pour ses employés et ses opérations. L'existence de la CCN prouve la nécessité d'une commission permanente intégrée, transfrontalière et fluviale.
Compétence : Cette proposition relève-t-elle de la compétence fédérale ?
Oui
Veuillez indiquer la langue dans laquelle la proposition est soumise.

Proposal text
Be it resolved that the Green Party of Canada recognizes that the national capital region is unique in spanning two provinces and lacks overall transportation coordination.
- The GPC will argue for the creation of a single cross-border infrastructure agency including federal, provincial, and municipal representation, to integrate and optimize the public road, bridge, and transit systems of both provinces in the service of the national capital region.
