Thank you very much.
My questions will be for you, Mr. Grech. I have been to the Picton port, and it is truly amazing what the private dollars, the entrepreneurship and the owners have done there. I'll give a big thank you to you from some of my local farmers in Northumberland. They appreciate it.
I want to give people a bit of an understanding of the service that Picton currently provides and could provide going forward. For folks who aren't from Ontario, the ships come in from the St. Lawrence Seaway right now, and Picton is on the north shore of Lake Ontario. They literally go right by Picton, Northumberland and Cobourg—many communities—and go to either Toronto or Hamilton, or even further, at which point they are off-loaded and then trucked all the way back to our eastern Ontario communities.
Is that correct? Am I correct in believing that tremendous efficiencies could be gained by off-loading more items at Picton and other local ports?
