Thank you, Chair.
I want to put on record that Ms. Bednar's comments in terms of the changes with regard to the Competition Act, which Deputy Prime Minister Freeland and Minister Champagne have championed in the budget and now in the BIA. I applaud them with full vigour. They are long overdue and well needed. It's great to see us tackling the issue and ensuring that there is competition within the economy and within sectors, that anti-competitive policies are being addressed, and that the Competition Bureau and the Competition Act are being given more teeth and more resources to ensure that Canadians are put first in consumer choice.
I want to speak to Mr. Poirier from the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters.
Mr. Poirier, I've interacted with you folks for many years and have had a lot a great meetings. York Region area, where I live and which I represent, is a manufacturing hub. We have the largest auto parts supplier in the world, Magna, and the third largest in Canada, Martinrea, which is about a kilometre and a half from my constituency office. We are an agri-food processing hub. We are a place where a lot of folks invest and work. We are a logistics hub. We have the largest CP intermodal facility, the busiest one in the country, in my riding. Vaughan has the largest CN yard in Canada, and I know Peter loves to hear that.
I want to ask some questions about the issues that we need to address on the supply chain. We have a supply chain working council. We have put money into the funds, and we have the national trade corridor fund. We are making progress on the supply chain, although it is difficult.
Could you provide any sort of recommendations that you think, top of mind, would assist us in addressing the issue even further?
