Thank you very much, Ms. Furlong.
I wholeheartedly agree. Listening to small businesses and supporting them are absolutely critical, because we know small businesses are the engines of our economy here in Canada. Thank you so much for your response.
Mr. De Thomasis, I wanted to say that I had the opportunity last year to join you at Morterm to announce over $12.5 million in federal funding from the national trade corridors fund for Morterm and ETR.
This is part and parcel of investments that this Liberal government has been making in our ports. Just last week, we learned that the Canada Infrastructure Bank is investing in part of a $750-million expansion of the port of Prince Rupert.
This is what this Liberal government is doing: investing in ports because we know that it is so important. It's so vital and critical.
To get it on record, how important is that investment that we made last year to Morterm? How important is that to the operations in Windsor?
