Thank you, Mr. Chair, and to the witnesses who are here today for your testimony.
We hadn't heard the perspective of the railways yet for our study of this bill, so it's been helpful.
Let me start with you, Mr. Cato, because you talked about the port boards' governance. That's something we've asked the ports and the associated ports about when they were here. I'm interested to hear your perspective as a user of the ports.
You talked about how Bill C-33 is really a missed opportunity in your viewpoint when the minister is appointing the chair and when there's as much prescription as to what that board needs to look like. This is what we heard from the port authorities as well, that it's an impediment.
Perhaps you could elaborate a bit more on that.
