Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
It's nice to see you, Mr. Emerson.
Before I ask you my question, my colleague Mr. Dhaliwal had left a question, specifically, that he wanted covered off. It had to do with the Asia-Pacific gateway. It's gaining global attention, as well as local attention for a lot of the Delta residents in his area who strongly feel that it will have a negative effect on the community at large.
Given the fact that the government is awash in billions of dollars of surplus as a result of the great work of all of us as the Liberal government, I'd like to know, why will your government not be giving this project the same priority as the St. Lawrence Seaway project?
