Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for being here as well.
I'll start with the Canadian Trucking Alliance, which you mentioned in your opening remarks represents about 5,000 trucking companies across Canada.
Your organization expressed the need for strengthening trade corridors, reducing bottlenecks, digitizing trade documentation and modernizing transportation approvals. All of those objectives align closely with this bill, which addresses strengthening supply chains, strategic trade corridors, transportation project coordination and reducing administrative burdens.
For trucking companies in my region—Erb Group, Challenger motor freight—this can help. It's going to help move goods instead of moving paper.
Can we talk about strategic trade corridors and how we can focus on removing those bottlenecks? How could the framework that's proposed here improve the movement of goods and strengthen that supply chain, especially at those intermodal points?
