Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I extend a huge thank you to the witnesses for joining us today. It's very helpful to have these perspectives as we consider the whole ecosystem of our ports as part of important critical infrastructure.
As a downtown Toronto MP, I see first-hand how critical the port of Toronto is to the movement of goods into our region and city. This port is part of a much broader system, through its connection to the Great Lakes corridor and Canada's overall trade strategy, especially as we look to diversify beyond the U.S. I want to focus my questions on how we strengthen that role, both locally and as part of the national infrastructure.
This is a question for the Toronto Port Authority. Given the port's proximity to major road and rail networks, are there any gaps today in integrating those systems? What specific improvements would allow the port to function more effectively as part of the broader supply chain?
