Mr. Speaker, I have worked with my colleague on the trade committee in the past, and I know she is someone who understands trade and how important it is for Canadian products to get to the world market.
The concern I have in her speech is that she talked about the importance of trade, but she did not mention the fact that if we cannot get the product to market, how do we actually achieve those results? One of the problems we have in Canada is that our ports are ranked next to dead last and our rail system is unreliable. Our infrastructure is just not there.
Where does the member see growth happening with this budget if it does not address the issues with our ports?
