Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today. I'll direct my first questions to Ms. Yako.
I'm from the Lower Mainland myself and we've had discussions around the issues that pertain to the trucking industry. With a free trade agreement with Japan, we've heard from the railway industry that there's a chance there will be a growth in the container trade that will benefit Canadians overall.
You mentioned some of the significant challenges facing the trucking industry and also the movement of goods out of the ports that the trucking industry is feeling. We know there are delays. These delays haven't only been happening in the last five or ten years, delays at the ports have been an ongoing issue. We've had a number of disruptions at the ports.
What can the federal government do to help resolve this ongoing issue of delays and inefficiencies in the system?
