I want to thank the witnesses for joining us.

I'm concerned about the state of Canada's ports, particularly the port of Vancouver.

I want to know the following. In your opinion, does the port of Vancouver hinder the development of Canadian businesses?

We often hear that there are lines, that things take a long time, that the unloading process could be further modernized and that we're lagging behind other ports, particularly American ports.

Do you think that Canada's ports, in their current state, hinder business development?
