Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to everybody.
Mr. Boisclair, I recall that you, at one point, were in charge of the Welland Canal. You were in St. Catharines and Welland for a while. It's my home turf. The Welland Canal goes right through the middle of my riding, through Port Colborne, Welland and Thorold.
I want to talk about a couple of things, and I want to thank the St. Lawrence Seaway for the work it did on lock 8 this past winter. It really was a sight to see the improvements, including the hands-free mooring technology that was installed. I think about $6 million was put into bridge 21. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that just the first phase of the infrastructure renewal at that bridge?
