Thank you to the three of you for your testimony on this important matter.
I'll keep going with Stephen.
My family is in the trucking industry too. I have cousins up in northern Ontario and Elk Lake, the Fisets, who have been trucking for years. I used to work for them when I was younger. And my best friend in Sault Ste. Marie, where I'm from, owns the Steel City Truck Lines.
It's an important industry, and I really appreciated your observations, in particular about the fall economic statement and being able to accelerate and write off the depreciation of equipment. I really didn't think about that until you mentioned it. Even as just consumers of equipment ourselves, we know how much and how quickly it depreciates.
Do you have any stats or have you crunched the numbers on what the potential savings or investment would be to the trucking industry for that particular one?
Also, I was reading some other news about what some in the trucking industry were talking about in relation to the fall economic statement, including removing barriers to trade within Canada and moving goods to markets efficiently in Saskatchewan and British Columbia. Those were the two pieces of investment: $160 million for ports and rail infrastructure in Vancouver to increase the efficiency and capacity for trade; and the $53.3 million to upgrade Highways 6 and 39 between Regina and Estevan, near the United States border.
Do you have any further comments on that?
