Our consultation process, which included preliminary consultations and was managed by the agency, was very long. Of course, the Canadian government has helped us in the past by giving us grants. However, the fact is that things are totally different now that we're collaborating with the Major Projects Office. That doesn't mean we skip the queue; the Contrecœur project is not being accelerated in any way. However, having a central agency that is also able to coordinate efforts means that we're now in a very good position to deliver, on time and on budget, a quality project that will meet businesses' needs.
Let me go back to what I said a little earlier and emphasize that certain amendments to laws and regulations definitely can and should be made more quickly. Ports, like all Canadian businesses, want predictability. Faster is better. Lastly, I want to emphasize that, whether we're talking about Contrecœur or activities in Montreal, the best way to help Canadian ports is to maximize their existing capacity. At the Port of Montreal, capacity has been affected by labour instability. We're neither the employer nor the union, but a work environment that results in greater stability also helps us convince Canadian companies to use Canadian ports.
