I know the Chair is going to cut me off, but let me just say this to add a layer of complexity, not that I'm trying to do that, but the reality is that I didn't make the ice.
The St. Lawrence Seaway is not open, sir. Let me just tell you that. The top hat ceremony downbound at the Welland Canal was supposed to be on Friday, which I would have attended. Obviously it's in my riding. It's not happening.
Mr. Streiner, your minister said quite clearly that they have as many icebreakers in Canada in the Lakehead that aren't moving out of there either.
I can tell you that it looks like the St. Lawrence Seaway is not going to be a place where they move things very quickly for a substantial period of time, unless that ice gets out of there. Pray for sun and warm temperatures and maybe we can melt Lake Erie because right now it's frozen solid, except for Port Dover.
