Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Viel, in your testimony, you mentioned that Canada is moving in the right direction when it comes to dealing with internal trade and interprovincial trade. We've heard similar comments from many stakeholders who have come before our committee. We've heard comments from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and others that more has been done in these last 18 months than over the past 20 years in terms of trade. I understand why that is happening and how the world has changed.
You spoke to looking and thinking east-west. When you made that comment, is it a paradigm shift that we're looking at for businesses to start thinking east-west? That takes time It takes reinforcement. It takes work with all stakeholders—government, business and labour all working together—to be able to get there.
