Again, I must preface my comments by saying that I'm not an expert on Windsor. We have people in the organization who are, and I can certainly provide to you and to the committee more details about the Windsor situation.
But let me just say a couple of things. As you probably know, the Detroit–Windsor gateway, specifically the Ambassador Bridge, is the busiest international trade gateway in the world. The infrastructure is bursting at the seams. The deck needs to be replaced and all those kinds of things. There have been binational and trilateral groups looking at this in terms of the Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario, and the governments of Michigan and the United States. There is a level of disappointment I think in terms of the delays the studies are encountering. But the latest study that was supposed to have been issued in 2007 I think is now going to be hitting the streets sometime in 2008.
So there is some concern that perhaps the urgency with which the industry sees this situation in terms of the congestion and the potential for congestion, the fact that the trucks have to go through the city of Windsor residential streets and so on and so forth, is perhaps not being addressed with the kind of immediacy that the industry on both sides of the border would like.
However, as I said in the outset, I'm not as expert in that particular situation as some of our colleagues are, particularly at the Ontario Trucking Association, and I would be delighted to get some information on Windsor specifically, on their views and statements they've made on Windsor, and provide it to the committee.
