Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to echo Mr. Davies' comments. I thank all of you for taking the time to appear. I think we all agree that it's important for members of Parliament to get outside of Ottawa and hear from folks in important centres across Canada, such as Halifax. I love being in Halifax at any time, so it's great to be here.
I have a few questions for both groups appearing. I'll start with the folks from the Gateway Council.
I'd echo the chair's comments and I look forward to seeing the map once translated, because in Ottawa we know about a lot of the great opportunities happening in Atlantic Canada. Our government is supporting all of them, from shipbuilding through to the lower Churchill, but I've never heard it expressed as $115 billion in megaprojects.
I'm wondering whether some of the council's marketing efforts around securing Halifax's role as central to all of those megaprojects could dovetail into also selling Halifax in Europe. Has there been consideration of connecting your work with the megaprojects to a burgeoning opportunity in Europe?
