Thank you, MP Masse.
You're quite correct, Mr. Masse, in that the effects to my community, Sarnia-Lambton, would be profound.
We've heard so eloquently from vice-president Mancinelli and my colleague Mr. Strickland that you'd see an additional 2,000 trucks per day on the roads. What we haven't heard is that Sarnia-Lambton, as a refinery hub already and a border community, has a tremendous amount of truck traffic on the roads.
For example, you mentioned the Ambassador Bridge. The Blue Water Bridge is the second-busiest commercial crossing in North America, seeing about 4,000 trucks per day in non-pandemic times. Conversely to the Ambassador Bridge, that's 4,000 trucks both ways, east and west bound, meaning about 2,000 trucks coming into Canada per day.
To increase that traffic, to double that traffic, would have a significant effect on the infrastructure, on our main thoroughfares going through to the refineries and on our communities. The environmental effect on our community of an additional 2,000 trucks per day would be profound. This is an issue that will affect, literally, every single level of the economy in Sarnia-Lambton, from....
I'm sorry. Go ahead.
