Thank you very much.
I want to go back to the Canada Border Services Agency. Some witnesses gave us concrete examples of the negative economic effects of those cuts in three or four border crossings in Quebec. We heard that there is very little traffic at those crossings but the little traffic there is is often economically significant since it is mostly trucks carrying goods.
Through you, Mr. Chairman, I would like the minister to explain why he feels it is necessary to close those border crossings when all the witnesses we heard stated that a significant part of the trade between the eastern US and eastern Quebec goes through those border crossings.
