Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions will be for Mr. Harvey and Mr. Hynes.
So far in this study we've talked to a decent number of ports on the Atlantic coast, and they have talked about the importance of rail in terms of being more competitive. In addition, I've talked to ports on the east coast. They haven't come here, but they have said the same thing. I'm wondering, from an Atlantic Canada standpoint, about the state of rail, we'll call it, in terms of readiness.
Mr. Harvey, you talked about not waiting to build infrastructure. We need to build it now. I'm wondering if I can get a sense from both of you of the priorities when it comes to rail, where we are in the current rail structure and what needs to be done to ensure Atlantic Canadian ports are indeed competitive.
