I have three quick questions, Mr. Minister, two of local interest, one of general interest.
Of local interest--to Mr. Allison and me--you mentioned $2.1 billion in funding to support gateways and border crossings. You specifically referenced Windsor-Detroit. In Niagara there is an anticipated border crossing, a new bridge, between Buffalo and Fort Erie. They're almost ready to have the shovels go in the ground. Would you anticipate that this funding pool would be available to that bridge authority as well?
Two, there is also a mid-peninsula vehicular corridor being planned, from the western portion of the GTA area to the border. Would that come under your gateway, in partnership with the provinces?
And in general application, you made reference to the EDC making strategic equity investments. Would that also include perhaps the ability to finance imports that are also critical to Canadian exports?
Then Mr. Temelkovski has a few more questions.
