Thank you, Chair.
I will direct my questions to the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.
Mr. Xotta, I had the opportunity to meet with you at the port authority last year, and one of the things we discussed was that ports need to expand, but infrastructure connecting the ports to the rest of the country can involve challenges and extend well beyond a port's mandate. Things get more complicated when they involve other jurisdictions, waterways, rail connections and multiple federal regulators.
Can you give the committee a concrete example of the type of approval that, when we worked together and empowered the appropriate local federal authority, shortened the process without lowering standards?
