Government Operations committee  Thank you so much. Unfortunately, I don't have an estimate right now as to the full impact on the economy. I would be happy to do some research and provide that following the meeting.

Government Operations committee  Thank you so much for the question. It's much appreciated. While I cannot comment on the specific labour negotiations of this union, we saw the huge impact that our west coast port strikes had on the economy as a whole last year. It was measured in the billions of dollars. CBSA is absolutely critical to the movement of goods and people across the border and into our ports.
