Transport committee  As the minister said, as we look at the border measures and the posture there, we are mindful of and informed by the public health situation and the data that is required. We conduct our own analysis, and we're informed by the data importation and the public health situation dome

Transport committee  Rail safety is a key priority for us. I think that every year we conduct about 35,000 oversight activities, and we have increased the number of staff we have by about 42%. I will pass it over to Aaron to provide a bit more context on some of those activities, the measures we hav

Transport committee  Again, as the minister said, the recovery of that sector is critically important to us. I think yesterday's announcement that all airports will be open for international travel is key to that. As part of the recovery effort, overall there was substantial recovery in the sector.

Transport committee  Absolutely. I'll talk a bit about Calgary and other projects. As the minister said, supply chains are critical, key to the mandate letter commitment and a priority for the department and for the government. One thing we've done, through our national trade corridors fund, is ensu

Transport committee  Absolutely, and I'll turn to Serge for the specific economic data with respect to Coutts. The minister referred to the economics: $390 million in trade per day at the Windsor bridge. We've seen supply chain partners, especially in the auto industry, express concern over disrupti

Transport committee  I have a bit of detail. I can turn to colleagues for that. There's been substantial work on this proposed facility and work on some of the previous regulations restricting heights of buildings that were in place at the time the airport was in use. Given that the airport is not in

Transport committee  Let me turn to Aaron. Do you have any other details on this?

Transport committee  As part of the process, we've worked with various groups to return land back to original owners and use it for other purposes, given that it's surplus to requirements.

Transport committee  As you said, the Hamilton port has received funding through the national trade corridors fund to expand a pier and for some modernization. It was about $23 million in funding. It is a critical port and, as you said, the region is growing economically, so again, this is the announ

Transport committee  To date, we have provided subsidies. There's a program to provide subsidies of $5,000 for zero-emission light-duty vehicles. We have provided subsidies for approximately 130,000 vehicles over the last couple of years. There have also been significant investments in charging infra

Transport committee  As part of our analysis of what the response ought to be to the situation, especially the blockade, all acts and legislation, and powers, regulatory and otherwise, were looked at prior to the decision being made. With respect to the International Bridges and Tunnels Act, there

Transport committee  We looked at what the authorities were in that legislation and the situations where those authorities would apply. Based on our analysis, there was nothing in those authorities that could be done. The blockage was not on the bridge itself; it was on the access ways. Therefore, th

Transport committee  Let me say first that there is data available. I know, for example, that we will look, by mode, at the importation rates and the test positivity rates. That is one of the factors, as well as the public health situation, as I said before, in Canada and internationally. Let me tur

Transport committee  I will pass this on to colleagues, but one thing I would like to underscore is that in all of these measures, we are guided by public health. We also do this in consultation bilaterally, especially in this case with the United States. In the discussion about truck drivers and t

Transport committee  Yes, we'll provide the response in writing.
