Mr. Chair, perhaps I could quickly answer that.
The federal government has put dollars aside looking at the national trade corridors fund—$1.9 billion—and also looking at December funding on the fluidity of supply chains. If we're going to open up new international trade corridors, do we have CBSA? I think Christian mentioned push-back from some of the departments around resources.
How many people do we have from CBSA to man those new ports, and from CFIA on food safety? Do we have the appropriate CULT chain mechanism in place within those ports? You start going through the basic logistical human resources and infrastructure requirements that are needed to update these facilities. It's not a short-term solution, but it is something that has to start. We use the example of Halifax. When the Montreal port was under strike, everyone diverted either to the U.S. or to Halifax. Halifax couldn't handle the volume of product going through, so we had greater delays coming out of the Halifax port.
There is a need to look at a strategic approach around the various agencies involved in just manning the system.
