On the east coast there is an issue of fragmentation. You have too many ports, and they're all competing with each other. Nobody has critical mass. I think government needs to focus on and perhaps encourage institutional investors to focus on one or two ports with the associated rail and road linkages into the high-speed corridors that you need to really plug into.
I don't want to presuppose the economics of investment in the port of Halifax or the port of Saint John, for example, but I do think that private sector investment can be made attractive and government doesn't have to put in the billions required to kick-start a port and make it more competitive. I think a big piece of the puzzle has to be making hard decisions about which ports you're actually going to support rather than continue to proliferate a fair share for everybody.
