What improvements should be made to the highway system? Nationally, the
Trans-Canada and other long-distance highways do the job. The only area that
might need serious attention are the major CSMAs (GTA, Greater-Vancouver,
Montreal area, Ottawa-Gatineau, etc.) and Southern Ontario. However, there
is an issue of explosive growth in many of these areas and the difficulty in
approving and building new highways. It's not as simple as having the money
and spending it. The Mid-Peninsula highway proposed for the Niagara region
is an excellent recent example.
