If we are talking about the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes—in some cases, goods that move through the St. Lawrence in fact move through the Great Lakes, as you know—the market has different dimensions.
I will begin by answering your question on which ports might benefit.
There are two components to this bill. One is on the level of borrowing. As you were saying, the Port of Montreal does not have any need in that area. That is a choice its administrators can make if they want.
However, as far as access to the contribution program is concerned, the ports of Montreal, Saguenay, Sept-Îles, Trois-Rivières and Quebec City could all benefit from it or have access to it. They do not have this type of thing right now.
Secondly, Transport Canada, in cooperation with our U.S. counterparts, has just issued a report on the results of economic, environmental and infrastructure studies of the St. Lawrence Seaway in its entirety, where bulk is being transported already, and of the markets on the Great Lakes. The report provides an overview of potential new markets on the Great Lakes and along the seaway.
One thing that is very important in this policy initiative is short sea shipping, or short distance marine transport.
