Thank you, Madam Chair.

I thank my colleague for her nice comments regarding the Port of Montreal.

I also thank the witnesses and the students for joining us.

My question is for the Port of Montreal representatives.

We recently marked the first anniversary of the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA. Thanks to that agreement, we are strengthening our trade relationships, supporting our Canadian businesses and boosting our economy. For a player like the Port of Montreal, CETA means significant growth of marine transportation, so an increase in the number of ships and, in particular, the number of containers.

What measures has the Port of Montreal taken to meet the growing demand in terms of the logistics chain?
