In terms of transportation, we've had a couple of port strikes probably in the last five years in Vancouver. When we're getting probably 40% to 50% of our incoming supplies from China, any port slowdown or strike has a significant impact on our supply chain and our ability to deliver to our end customers. We have to ensure a free movement of goods; we cannot afford to have port slowdowns. There was a trucking issue last year that caused a disruption.
Actually, the entire west coast of North America is seeing quite a slowdown in freight transport through their ports. In fact, we've seen an increase in our supply chain in terms of the lead time needed to ship from China to Vancouver; it's increased by one week over the past 12 months. To me, that's unacceptable.
It's also rumoured—I've talked to people—that the productivity at Canadian ports is much less than other ports in the rest of the world. It's something that we need to look at and make sure that the flow of goods and the productivity of the port is world class.
