Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to thank you for being here today. I intend to pursue the same line of questioning, Mr. Rigby. You say that you are consulting your U.S. counterparts. But I have letters from U.S. municipalities saying that they want to keep these service locations open and that they do not seem to have been consulted.
For example, a petition was filed today with more than 5,000 signatures on it with respect to the Franklin border crossing, for example, and it states that neither local communities nor communities on the U.S. side were consulted about this. Furthermore, I have letters here, including one from the New York State Assembly, stating that it is essential that the Franklin Centre and Jamieson's Line ports of entry remain open.
There is something here that I don't understand. If you did consult people, it would appear that they are not happy with the decision.
