Thank you. I would be happy to comment.
In fact, Minister Garneau has been to Washington and has met his counterpart at the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and key congressional leaders, both in the House and the Senate, essentially talking about what the member just described: the importance of facilitating transportation networks across the Canada-U.S. border, and the importance of finding a way to develop a border logistics system that has ever-higher levels of security and more efficient movement of goods and people.
Interestingly, facts always help. Minister Garneau sort of turned heads in Washington when he described how each and every day, 30,000 trucks, 4,600 train cars, and 400,000 people cross the Canada-U.S. border. There's a network across the border. I think the minister has secured a shared commitment from key U.S. leaders and office holders to work with Canadian counterparts to find a way to make that work.
