Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to jump right in.
Mr. Graydon, you wrote an op-ed after you were here in December, and I completely agree with you. You said, “Canada's productivity problem is a depth problem, not a talent problem”. You went on to talk about the grocery store aisles and how most of the products we find in the centre aisles were once manufactured here but are now almost all imported. In your opening statement, you said that part of this is a trade corridor problem.
Would you be able to elaborate specifically on the issues we have due to trade corridor inefficiencies in Canada?
