Thank you for the question.
I want to make it very clear that any investment of public funds in a project at the Port of Montreal, whether by the Government of Quebec or the federal government, is essentially a lever. In the case of the Contrecœur project, public investment allows us to reduce risk and, subsequently, get the port authority to make investments that will come from the private sector.
In other words, every investment made through the national trade corridors fund is not only for the port, but also for users. In our case, past investments have resulted in India being the port of Montreal's third-largest partner. Why is that? It's because we have infrastructure that allows us to better serve western Canada through terminals like CanEst and increased rail capacity.
At the end of the day, it's not just the port that's more competitive; it's the product that's in the container or in the ship destined for export. This applies to all countries, and it's the same dynamic we see. The end user benefits from these investments.
