I can tell you that, over the past two years, the Port of Valleyfield has seen a drastic decline in the number of ships transporting goods from Europe to Quebec, goods that are then distributed locally.
Some ships would contact the port. They had mixed cargo, such as steel and other products combined with containerized goods. Because of the Canada Border Services Agency's limited capacity at this point, that cargo is diverted to U.S. ports in the Great Lakes. In other words, traffic at the Port of Valleyfield is down overall.
This is just one example of why border services and customs need to be more agile in serving multiple ports other than large-scale ports. I'm talking about regional ports, medium-sized ports that make an important contribution to supply chain efficiency nowadays.
