Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his advocacy.
Ports are important to keeping our supply chain moving, and I am happy to share with the House that yesterday I announced a nearly $75-million investment to increase capacity and reduce congestion at the port of Prince Rupert. Also, this morning, we tabled a new bill entitled “strengthening the port system and railway safety in Canada act”. This bill would create a stronger, more competitive supply chain.
Our government is taking action to ease pressure on our supply chain, which is great news for Canadians and Canadian businesses.
