The simple answer is no. I mean, listen, we run a number of trade missions to other countries. We're in a lot of places and we speak with delegates from other countries. Are we going to be a serious player on the international stage, or are we going to show that we can't reliably deliver and they can't count on us? Are they going to continue? I've heard that some are looking at collective agreements before they're deciding to do business with Canada.
You asked about some of the data. The Greater Vancouver Board of Trade has estimated that almost $10 billion in cargo was disrupted during the 2023 B.C. ports strike. On the St. Lawrence Seaway one that was a bit after that, it looked like the economic activity impacted reached about $900 million. On the railway stoppage, our business data lab saw that it disrupted about three billion dollars' worth of revenue, ton-miles for major carriers CN and CPKC.
I can go on. The terminal elevators at the port of Vancouver receive just over half of all the grain produced across Canada. I think that's one of the things you mentioned. They handle and export most of the grain that farmers in the Prairies grow. That strike stopped the nearly 100,000 metric tons of grain that flow through these terminals daily, resulting in $35 million in potential exports lost every single day.
I can share a lot about this.
