Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses attending today's important study on this impact of ArriveCAN.
First, I would like to acknowledge Mr. Boudreau, who has done a great job with YVR. I do travel often between YVR and Ottawa nowadays.
I want to direct the following question to you.
As you know, many businesses, globally and locally, are facing tremendous challenges during the global pandemic, ranging from interrupted production, supply chain destruction, rapid shifts in demand, staff shortages and elevated commodity prices. Despite the significant challenges, Canada's two-way trade in goods and services rose by 14.1% in 2021 and reached a new record high of $1.5 trillion. This is a testament to the adaptability and resilience of Canadian businesses, workers and entrepreneurs.
Given that other Canadian sectors and overall Canadian trade are improving, have you experienced an increase in flights related to trade at the Vancouver airport? How has that been affected by the impacts of the ArriveCAN application?
