Transport committee  Again, from where we sit, I think the national trade corridors fund is very successful. I think it's supporting a lot of good programs. It's helping to alleviate concerns. I think where we would like to see government leadership is on a corridor strategy. That becomes the one overarching piece if you're asking what the leadership piece means.

Transport committee  Thank you very much for that question. It's an important conversation to have. As I mentioned in my opening statement today, Canada's economic growth depends on trade. When we are talking about the need for investment and the need for strategies, at the end of the day, these are what help pay for a lot of the items we'll be talking about later on today.

Transport committee  Good morning and thank you, Mr. Chair and honourable members. It's a pleasure to be appearing again before the standing committee. This is my first time, actually, in person. On behalf of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to provide comment on the committee's study on large port infrastructure expansion projects in Canada.
