Thank you, gentlemen, for being here this morning.
I want to take it up from where Matt left off, with respect to future direction.
I was the mayor of the City of Port Colborne for 14 years, and I know there were a lot of strategic plans we had put together that identified objectives. What we stumbled on was trying to attach actions to them because other partners—I won't mention any names because there were numerous partners—had different plans.
That said, I do want to ask you both about how important it is—in a sense, it seems to be the theme of this morning—for all partners to sit down together to put a strategic plan together for the trade corridor. Let's face it: The trade corridor is very robust. It's very strong—canal, road, rail, location and the list goes on. However, it does need some attention. It does need some work on the capital side, but also from the operational side, as it relates to integrating our logistics and distribution systems.
With that strategic plan in place and further objectives identified and actions being attached, funding included, what efforts or what directions do you think would be advantageous in whom to work with to create that environment? I think an earlier witness called it a “shared and committed culture” that can be taken upon itself.
