Transport committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, everybody, for being here today. I'm going to split my time with my esteemed colleague Kelly Block. In the meantime, I will hopefully get a couple of questions answered. You mentioned, Madame LaFortune, the figure of $700 million in federal i

Transport committee  Have those projects been started? Are shovels in the ground? Have they been completed? What's the status of those projects?

Transport committee  Perfect. Is it possible to get a breakdown of which projects have and which projects haven't been started yet, and their status, under the $760-million fund?

Transport committee  I'm requesting it, yes. We're seeing a number of ports across the country. However, there has been a lot of news of late about one point of entry into the country, which is the Windsor-Detroit crossing. I'm hoping that perhaps somebody from the witnesses here can comment on the

Transport committee  Do you know off the top of your head why a permit was given to the Ambassador Bridge, when the Gordie Howe Bridge was already in place?

Transport committee  It's recent.

Transport committee  Okay, thank you. The greatest commercial traffic is on the Windsor Ambassador Bridge again. Has that increased on the commercial truck side? Also, do you happen to know if the numbers of automobiles specific to that bridge have increased or decreased?

Transport committee  Do you know anecdotally whether it has increased or decreased? Are we seeing more traffic in general on that port of entry, or less traffic than what we would have had five years ago or 10 years ago?

Transport committee  Okay. I would expect that to be some information that the department would be very knowledgeable on, only because we have a Windsor Ambassador Bridge that's now increasing in size plus an additional bridge also coming on board. Logic would tell me that it has increased significan

Transport committee  For my first comment here at committee, I want to thank Mr. Badawey for his kind hospitality in hosting us here for these two days and for everything he does for the community here. On this side of the table, you're dealing with two prairie guys, so I'd say this is more of a fa

Transport committee  You wanted to go.
