Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I don't sit on this committee, but it did occur to me that there is obviously a net value both to the regional economy at the vicinity of the border crossing and an additional value to the Canadian economy in terms of that transport of goods and services, and whatever.
I notice that you placed as your two criteria, to protect our country and facilitate trade. It would seem to me that the 5,000 people, plus the mayor, who's going to be coming and talking to this committee, would be looking at the impact on the regional economy in terms of the kinds of jobs the port of entry provides.
When you are doing your analysis of those particular locations right across the country, how much does the trade factor in? Do you also look at your nearest port in terms of absorbing and capturing that value-added? Do you report, through the Auditor General or your particular report, and re-evaluate that decision during the course of your five-year strategic plan or whatever it is?
