That is indeed very important. It is an argument that the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec has been putting forward for some time. Some of the biggest challenges in Quebec and Canada have to do with the quality of our infrastructure and the maintenance of existing assets. For some time now, there has been a lot of talk about diversifying our exports, and rightly so given our dependence on the American market. However, in order to increase exports and diversify our export markets, we must be able to move our goods efficiently within Canada. That is why we need transportation infrastructure expansion projects, such as the port expansion project in Contrecoeur.
Roads and railways are also extremely important for transporting our goods. Right now, most of the goods we ship to the United States go by train or truck. If we now want to export some of those goods to other parts of the world instead, for example, Europe or Asia, we need to increase the shipping capacity of our ports and airports. Infrastructure must be properly maintained in all regions of Quebec. We also need to expand the transportation capacity of various regions by increasing access to infrastructure.
