Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Marr, I'm always delighted when our colleagues in Ottawa get to hear about the contributions our west coast can make to Canada's economy. I really appreciate the thoughtful framework you set out in your introduction around the need for an integrated network of infrastructure supporting the new trade patterns that we hope to see in Canada, including, of course, short-sea shipping from the port of Nanaimo. I was also glad to see you elaborate in one of your earlier answers on the nature of that infrastructure, including access to railhead that would most help unlock that potential, including short-sea shipping from our west coast.
My colleague talked about the budget and the negative consequences of not passing it. I actually want to ask the inverse question. In dollar terms, what do we need at the port of Nanaimo from that budgetary pool to avoid those negative consequences and to realize the potential and the opportunity we have at the port of Nanaimo?
