In the time available to me, I want to engage over and back with the Minister. There are a couple of points I want to deal with. The completion of MetroLink is referenced in the NDP to be 2028, but in the media, and on the website 2034 and quarter 4, 2028 respectively, are referenced. The Minister, Deputy Ryan, has responsibility for the Department of Transport. Could MetroLink be built before 2028? When completed, projects are available for public use. In many cases, they are factors in the decisions of families and single people around where to purchase a home and where children might go to school. The Minister referenced city living as being key that. Knowing what he does, when does he expect MetroLink to commence?
