Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I just want to jump back to something that Mr. Arya was trying to say about trade. Actual trade volume in Canada went down from the latest trade report. The actual dollar value went up, but the actual volume of trade went down. It went up because of inflation and things like the carbon tax.
It's the same thing with our percentage of the U.S. market. While our trade value may have gone up because of inflation and the carbon tax, we've lost market share. When you're losing market share, you're losing. That's why we're now their third-largest trading partner. You can try to put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. That's the Liberal record on trade.
Part of the problem is infrastructure, our trade infrastructure. We know that the Canada West Foundation put out a report that our trade infrastructure has precipitously declined in the last 12 years.
I want to ask Mr. Weller a question. To add to the problems with this, the radical Liberal environment minister said that we shouldn't invest in roads anymore—as if roads are these terrible things. I think roads are critical for trade. I suspect everyone here might agree with that, and we probably need to expand our roads to be able to expand trade.
Mr. Weller, would you like to comment on that?
