Thank you, Madam Chair.
We have had the opportunity, the honour and privilege as a committee to really dive a bit deeper into Minister Garneau's mandate with respect to trade corridors, creating more fluidity as well as eliminating the bottlenecks throughout, not just your area at the port of Montreal, but across the whole nation and even going internationally. When I say internationally, I mean on the other side of the border to the south as well as into the EU.
I'm going to concentrate my questions on that. We've had discussions before, and by the way, thank you for coming today. It's great to have you as part of this whole process. We've had discussions in the past with your association, and we've spoken about both creating fluidity through integrating logistics and distribution and working together within our own regions, but more importantly, how those regions connect throughout the nation and even internationally.
With that, my question for you is, where do you see yourself participating in that overall trade corridor strategy? I want to concentrate as well, as a second question, on the St. Lawrence Seaway and the inability to create port capacity. It's now only operating at 50% capacity. How can you contribute to the overall system to bring that port capacity up to where it should be?
