Thank you.

Here is a follow-up question. As Mr. Carrie said, the C.D. Howe Institute did release an economic impact study. They say that the “negative elements outweigh the positives” and that Canada's real GDP will shrink by 0.4%. They have also expressed concerns about a potential thickening at the border.

Do you share their concerns about the overall benefits and the potential for a backlog at the border?
