Thank you for that question.
I would say it's a short-term challenge.
As I mentioned in my testimony, the number of full containers moving out of our ports was down by 2%, but probably there was about a 50% increase in empty containers moving out. That is due to the imbalance in the supply chain. The empty containers are being more rapidly evacuated back to Asia due to the growing consumer demand surge. That kind of volume is being sucked up that way. That will return back to normal as the supply chain normalizes.
On Canada's west coast, we actually have a pretty balanced trade compared to other North American ports, which are much more import ports only. We do export in containers. Our terminals handle exports of lumber, specialty crops and other items, so it's pretty balanced.
I would say it's short-term. We can probably see some stabilization coming later this year in that balance.
