Absolutely.
Desgagnés Transarctik Inc. serves more than 50 destinations in Canada's Arctic, including communities and mine sites. Investing in infrastructure is essential. Do we need deep-water ports everywhere? No. We need ports at key locations, but we need them to have infrastructure that can handle all of the goods being offloaded from ships.
The same principle applies to what the Canadian Armed Forces are currently saying about major sites, secondary sites and hubs for subsequent distribution. We recommend continuing to expand that. I think they're on the right track. However, there has to be infrastructure to receive cargo, there has to be a presence, and there has to be traffic. That's critical to developing the Arctic not just in one specific place, but everywhere.
