You can't move anything, it doesn't matter what it is, without effective transportation networks, whether that's inside a city or across the country. Certainly one of our focuses has been on Industrie 2030, and our bigger picture of growing the manufacturing sector is to have better international trade connections.
Unfortunately I find that we tend to invest in a lot of things to get stuff into the country and not enough to get stuff out. China is a good example. In B.C. where boatload after boatload of stuff is coming from China, how many of those boats go back empty? I'm guessing the majority. We're not that well connected to get the stuff out, especially stuff from central Canada. That goes for both sides; whether it's through Halifax or Vancouver, the big ports for international exports are not that great.
We do have a lot of great facilities, but I think we can do a lot better in making those national connections. That's where those big national infrastructure funds, I think $50 billion....We've been pushing to get more of that put toward trade infrastructure rather than other infrastructure, which is also important, but we need the focus on trade infrastructure as well.
