I can take that first. Thank you, Mr. Muys.
We are seeing change, slow but sure. We have heard back from the government and we participated in the round tables around the supply chain issues, trying to provide some input from agriculture. Ms. Koutrakis was one of the co-chairs in our session—it's good to see you again—as well as Francis Drouin.
The key that we're seeing, though, has to do with the foundational changes around the supply chain for us. It goes back to labour as one of those core components, and then on top of that, we're facing, as I mentioned, compounding issues. My colleague Christian cited this as a global challenge and talked about the 12% of shipping containers that are not available.
That's significant for us. It's one thing to look at our own ports, but it's another thing to look at how this entire system works like a symphony. It comes together, and all the pieces have to be working in harmony. When you see one piece of the entire system system falling apart—and it could be truck, rail, containers or the labour component therein—you start hearing the symphony's misbeats. That's where we are still. The symphony isn't sounding finely tuned. We have to get back to that tuning of the symphony. To do that, we need to look at some key tools.
I'm going to say that the reputation of Canada is at stake. We need to make sure that the global market knows we're open for business and that we are putting in place tools and tactics to address the issues within our own borders. We need to recognize some of the other levers that are happening globally and use those levers effectively.
I can hand it over to my chair, because I know he's living it.
