Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for being here today and sharing their important feedback with us. Having spent 13 years in international trade prior to my career in politics, I understand the importance of supply chain resiliency and continuing to invest in our infrastructure to allow for more trade to flow as we build out the economy.
One infrastructure project that always comes to my attention in my riding with the trucking community is the new Gordie Howe bridge. It's the port of entry at Windsor, the busiest border in our country. The Cross-Border Institute at the University of Windsor has done a recent study estimating that the new route will include and save truckers over 800,000 hours, translating into billions of dollars in savings. It means that truck drivers in my riding can get home to their families quicker.
Mr. Laskowski, you mentioned in your opening statement the Gordie Howe bridge. Can you can provide more insights into what this bridge would mean to your members?
