Mr. Chair, through you to the member, thanks for the question. It's an important one.
I'm not sure if today I have specific examples, but I'll follow up with some to the committee. I do want to make a general observation, though. Supply chains don't have political borders. They don't see geography in that sense, so there are.... During the pandemic there were lots of examples of provinces putting certain restrictions in place on the transportation sector, which meant that when somebody crossed the border, all of a sudden they had different rules. We have some of that today with respect to the type of information that provinces want, particularly in trucking, as people go through provinces.
It's a challenge, and that's why for me a national strategy with all levels of government...and let me be clear that the municipalities play a role in that. The federal government could have the most incredible transportation strategy, even working with provinces, and it could break down in a municipality. When Toronto—I'm going to pick on Toronto today because I'm from the GTA—places certain rules on transportation within its streets, that breaks down the chain again.
Ron and I have spoken passionately about this before. A whole-of-government approach, which is a whole-of-governments—plural—approach is really what is key if we're going to have a supply chain in Canada that is the best in the world.
