Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Brendan Marshall from the Mining Association of Canada.
First of all, thank you for dedicating so much of your submission to improving opportunities in the north. I think many of us know that in order to improve the economy in the north and to make our economy competitive, our communities and our businesses need access to reliable all-season transportation infrastructure. We also need cost-effective energy solutions to get off diesel.
Given our geography, could you speak to the importance of expanding federal support for northern projects of all sizes to address this infrastructure gap?
