Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I was really happy that Mr. Sheehan decided to bring up the question of infrastructure with respect to our trade infrastructure.
I have a paper from the Canada West Foundation that talks about the port of Vancouver strike. In that paper, they say that in 2013 Canada had the 10th-best global trade infrastructure in the world and that, as of 2023, it has the 32nd-best trade infrastructure. Canada's trade infrastructure, after eight years of this Liberal government, has plummeted from 10th to 32nd.
I was wondering if any of the witnesses today would like to comment on whether or not there is a desperate need for trade infrastructure here in Canada.
