Thank you.
I have a question for the Canadian Produce Marketing Association.
In November, you put out an urgent call to action, including a letter to the Prime Minister and 12 different cabinet ministers. The summary I saw had six different challenges, some of which were articulated today in terms of the cost of container shipping being exponential, in terms of port congestion for the fresh produce sector.
I had a virtual meeting with members of your association in January, and they described the story of a container of fruit in the Port of Vancouver where the fruit had rotted before it even had a chance to be shipped from the port.
Now, four months later, have you heard back from the Prime Minister and the ministers? Are we better off? Are we worse off? Where are things at?
