Thank you for that.
I want to touch on some things with respect to your recommendations. I found them very interesting.
I come from Cape Breton Island and I come from a union family. Most of what I have today wouldn't have been possible without a strong union and a strong business sector, where my dad worked for many years as a coal miner. It's provided me with a lot. At the same time, your testimony with respect to the challenges of the supply chain was that labour stability in particular hasn't been there, clearly.
You talked about the business opportunities that we lost with existing companies that utilize rail. I don't know if it's quantifiable or not, but in terms of potential business, I want to start there.
You've talked very eloquently, both of you, about opportunities lost. In terms of businesses that may have been thinking of coming to Canada or thinking about laying a flag somewhere on the east coast, in central Canada or on the north coast, can you give us a sense—if it's not quantifiable, then anecdotally—of how much that has impacted our ability to attract businesses that you probably wouldn't see in any kind of data sheet?
