Thank you so much, Madam Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for joining us today. I appreciate the opportunity to talk about the national trade corridors fund and to hear your perspectives on it.
I know the Emerson report contemplated a number of recommendations with multiple subsections in its report in chapter 4, with the first recommendation being 1(b)(iii), which addressed the project that you, Mr. Anablak, were talking about. I know you mentioned that you had a proposal before the NTCF right now for $22 million to ensure that the larger project would be shovel-ready when the opportunity came to apply.
It's my understanding that your project was denied funding initially through this fund. Is that correct?
