Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am pleased to meet you. I would like to address my question to Mr. Pelletier since he represents all of Quebec when it comes to maritime transport. I'll take this opportunity to congratulate him on his recent appointment.
The Bloc Québécois certainly supports the principle of the bill since it would favour the St. Lawrence—Great Lakes trade corridor. However, we'd like some clarification. For example, you say that the Port of Montreal has experienced growth for the past several years. I'd like to know exactly how many millions of tons you handle annually.
