International Trade committee  Thank you for the question. You're partially correct. The reality is that within that same coasting regime there is the ability to apply for a licence to move that cargo on a temporary basis. I think the essence of the issue as it could unfold is how that regime would be implemented if there were changes to the current regime.

International Trade committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the opportunity to speak today. We're here to speak to you about some initial concerns we have with the agreement and the potential impact on domestic short sea shipping. While we believe that CETA is good for Canada, aspects of its implementation have potentially unintended negative consequences for our part of the marine sector and consequently the resilience of the Canadian supply chain.
