Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the opportunity.
Serendipity has allowed me to sub in today, which makes it three-quarters of the Windsor-Essex members of Parliament having the opportunity to speak to this.
One of the disadvantages of going in the second round is that many of the topics one wants to cover were covered before. I'm going to have you retrace a bit of ground, because I have some similar lived experience.
Living in Windsor and Essex County...our American friends are on three sides of us. Can you talk a little more about the opportunities? I'm heavily influenced. I'm a diehard, in terms of our national sport. I'm a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. I have to be, but I'm also a Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers fan. I'm sorry, Blue Jays.
This park establishes another cross-border opportunity. I have attended the freedom fireworks and the Gordie Howe International Bridge. There are all sorts of other international co-operations.
Can you expound a little more on this? I know you talked a little about the walking and bike paths. What else does this do, culturally, because we are so intertwined? I have the Point Pelee park in my riding, so I have a lot of Detroit cottagers on the way to the Point Pelee park. What does this expand?
