Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll continue with you, Mr. Hynes.
We heard from witnesses who told us how disappointed they were with some of the federal government's policies in the marine sector, particularly with regard to decisions on the subsidy for steel transportation.
In fact, there is a steel plant in my riding.
In the context of the U.S. tariffs, I understand the federal government's idea of putting in place a subsidy system to fund 50% of the cost of transporting steel by rail from one place in Canada to another. Unfortunately, the subsidy applies only to rail transportation, not marine transportation. In a way, this creates a form of unfair competition, because people in marine transportation don't benefit from the assistance, whereas it would sometimes be more efficient to use marine transportation than rail transportation.
I would like to know if your members have talked to you about that. What is your organization's position on that?
