Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for appearing here this morning, and a special welcome to Captain Houston.
I'm a Vancouver native. My community of Abbotsford actually knows very well how much we depend on the success of the Pacific Gateway. I understand, Captain Houston, you're actually quite involved in providing advice on that through your Greater Vancouver Gateway Council.
Perhaps I could start with you, Captain Houston.
One of the issues raised by both Mr. Volpe and Mr. Masse is land use. As we've moved forward with developing this bill, obviously staff within the minister's office have been consulting with municipalities that are impacted by ports. But I'm wondering what steps you have taken in terms of leading the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority to liaise with the City of Vancouver, Metro Vancouver, and surrounding municipalities to ensure their needs are met. Perhaps you could also comment on whether you've found any significant opposition to this legislation from those communities.
