e-2038 (VIA Rail)

E-petition
Initiated by Yan Tremblay-Poisson from Valleyfield, Quebec

Original language of petition: French

Petition to the House of Commons

Whereas:
  • Every day, thousands of people travel to Montreal or Ottawa for work or school;
  • The riding of Salaberry-Suroît has poor transit service;
  • The train station in Les Coteaux was open to travellers until fall 2012 and had a ticket counter;
  • Purchasing tickets online or over the telephone is not very convenient; and
  • It is in the interest of everyone and the environment to promote transit.
We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons
to open a dialogue with Via Rail so :
The station can have opening hours for travellers;
Reopen a ticket counter; and add more trains to serve local residents.
