Thanks to the three of you for answering that question. I wanted to frame it as the challenges. Now we'll go to the solutions.
If we look at this budget, which has yet to be passed, there is some obstruction going on with respect to the budget and putting funds in place for the Arctic sovereignty fund and the trade diversification corridors fund. How key is it to moving forward in a substantial way?
It was brought up here today that these are mere concepts and we have to put things into practice. Okay, let's take that argument. Let's take moving concept to practice. The bottom line is that the way we move forward on making investments is passing $6 billion in funds for ports to allow them to do their thing.
I want to go into the future. If these funds are not passed, where do we find ourselves in terms of the things that you each want to do with your respective ports in your respective regions for this country to drive the economy forward, have more jobs in place and strengthen the supply chain? If we don't vote on this, or if we vote on it and it doesn't pass, what will that do to your operations?
We'll start with Ms. Fenn.
