This question is directed first at the Port of Saguenay, but the Port of Montreal may want to weigh in as well.
One thing we have heard consistently—a few years ago when we did the study and ever since—was the need for financial flexibility. There were limitations on port authorities in terms of borrowing and their ability to access capital to make these expansions happen. As a smaller port authority, the Port of Saguenay may be constrained by the limitations on financial flexibility.
There was Bill C-33, which didn't go far enough and was underwhelming. It died on the Order Paper when Prime Minister Carney called the election. Even the insufficient reforms of financial flexibility and giving more financial tools were cast to the side.
Maybe you can talk a bit more about how it's important for you to have flexibility.
