The interest in timing that we have, Ms. Borges, is that we're modernizing transportation while we're modernizing NAFTA. If you look at efficiency within transporter trucking, for instance, a lot of the trucks we have going south come back empty. If we could fill them—we're burning greenhouse gas emissions, which I know is another area of interest to this government, and of all of us indeed—that would minimize the wasted GHGs of empty trucks coming back. If we're modernizing transportation and modernizing NAFTA, why would cabotage not be part of it? I notice the commissioner of competition asked for this examination in 2015 in many of these same industries, so to you, Ms. Borges, or to representatives from the Competition Bureau, why weren't these elements part of this act?
