Thank you to the witnesses.
I guess Mr. Spence is still online, so thank you, Mr. Spence, for being with us today.
In an article I was reading recently in preparation for this meeting, you talked about the need to resupply the port of Churchill as being a critical step to bringing economic vitality back to northern Manitoba. In fact, I know my leader, Pierre Poilievre, has talked about the need to reignite the ability of the port of Churchill for future exports of fossil fuels, liquid natural gas and agricultural commodities.
You have been mayor for a long time. What relationship does the port have with the airport? What could we look at strategically from a national perspective to both bring economic development to your region and empower local first nations to have a big role in that?
