Thank you very much, colleague MP Greaves. I appreciate your giving me this opportunity to say just how much time, effort and energy are currently being expended on getting our Pacific gateway right. That will invariably require an expansion of capacity, but we're also mindful that we're asking a lot of the people in British Columbia—and the Lower Mainland specifically—to host this infrastructure.
There's a lot of marine traffic, as you observe. Whether it be a small project like a debottlenecking or a large project like the Roberts Bank terminal 2 expansion, which we've been discussing for a long time, we're working hard on making that port, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, work and move a lot more efficiently for the people who live around it and for our nation's economy.
The trade diversification corridors fund will be an important addition to our investment arsenal. There are other funding sources—ports themselves have borrowing capabilities—but we will be working very hard on the west coast to make our marine traffic move more efficiently and therefore have a more competitive export economy in Canada.
