Trade depends on two things: predictability and stability for businesses to invest either here domestically to access a market, or to invest in that market to help access back to Canada.
One of the strengths that Canada showed through the recession in 2008, and ongoing as we struggle to get back up to strength, is the diversity of what we offer as a country. That's been alluded to here. We're a huge agricultural resource. We have resources like potash and coal and timber. We also have the energy sector. All of these are predicated on access outside the country. None of them could survive for very long if all we had was domestic supply. I know when it comes to agriculture we export between 50% and 90% of what we produce and, Robin, you made the point about you're up about 100 million tonnes going out through the Port of Vancouver. A lot of that is grain and cereal crops, oilseeds, and so on. Of course, those are going into a lot of that TPP marketplace and could certainly do better.
Are you starting to see a demand for the Vancouver Port Authority to have a bigger footprint? I know G3 is looking at construction here. Others are already growing, and I'm just talking about agriculture. I know the coal sector, the potash sector, are all looking to expand their footprint here to access these markets.
