Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses from all parts of the country who are here.
Mr. Gooch, welcome back to the committee. You've been here many times.
As you know, this committee studied large port infrastructure expansion projects a few years ago, and I think you provided some testimony towards that. There were 12 recommendations that came out of that, many of which you echo again today, many of which your members who have been here for this study have mentioned, in terms of agility, financial flexibility and streamlined reviews.
How do we get beyond the talk? That was three years ago, and the response from the government at that time was that this was important. We had Bill C-33, which you referenced had at least one good aspect. It died on the Order Paper.
How do we get beyond the talk into action? What's the low-hanging fruit that can move forward very quickly?
