Well, I've been in this role a year, so I don't consider myself an expert yet.
The traffic flows in different directions. For example, the port of Prince Rupert receives very different traffic, destined for the U.S., compared with the port of Vancouver, for example.
One thing we've identified as an opportunity that could make the system work more efficiently is if Canadian ports could collaborate more closely together in certain areas. For example, there are three ports in Quebec—Trois-Rivières, Québec and Montreal—that have a working group to explore collaboration and if there could be some specialization in terms of one port versus another.
There are some provisions in the Canada Marine Act, as well as in competition law, that limit how far they can go. Those three ports have put forward a proposal to the Government of Canada to explore how ports might be able to collaborate more effectively than they can right now, with the limitations of the laws that are in place.
We understand that the Government of Canada has launched an RFP for a study on the complementarity of ports, which seems to be a response to that. We look forward to seeing the outcome of that work.
