International Trade committee  We haven't. As my colleague from the chamber noted, that's not data we produced ourselves. It's data we've used from other sources. In the case of those numbers, actually, they're from the government itself, but what I would say is that we see evidence that would support componen

International Trade committee  We haven't factored that in explicitly, but we have certainly based our forecasting on an assumption that having a favourable trade environment and having Canada perceived as a favoured trading partner continue to be parts of the way that we trade with the world. On that sort of

International Trade committee  In volume order, they are Japan, the U.S., and Chile. Interestingly, of course, South Korea, which has been part of the debate today, if it were to accede to the TPP negotiations, would eclipse both Japan and the U.S.

International Trade committee  It's too early to see at the moment. We're certainly not seeing any change that we can attribute to the change in the currency at this stage.

International Trade committee  We have about 18 in the anchorages local to the port, and I believe there are probably about another 12 in anchorages across the Georgia Strait, so the number is substantial. It's abnormally high because of the challenges of rail service over the last week, given the cold weather

International Trade committee  As you say, at the moment, it's more about product availability because railcar supply has been a challenge.

International Trade committee  I struggled to see that data as well, although I would recognize that we, as Canada and as the port of Vancouver, are a relatively small component of the global commodity market. Without going into too much detail on data we haven't fully consolidated, we've just seen a record ye

International Trade committee  We've had a lot of dialogue with them. It's undoubtedly a complex supply chain given that it's employing tens of thousands of people, but there's been some very good dialogue with the group you mentioned in particular amongst others. The concerns they were raising were in a large

International Trade committee  Even already, with the exception of our short-term challenges related to the railcar supply, which have a knock-on effect through the supply chain because of the very cold temperatures in the east, which we expect to be resolved in a matter of days and weeks, we've seen significa

International Trade committee  We as the port are in the middle of delivering about 200 million dollars' worth of infrastructure as part of the $700 million Asia-Pacific gateway program, which is committed. All 17 or 18 projects funded by that will be completed by the early part of 2015. Those commitments are

International Trade committee  We are absolutely, and particularly in the community here in the Lower Mainland where a significant number of jobs are generated, but it's very easy to lose sight of the impact of trade on the economy. Actually going back to the earlier question, we've taken a very proactive ap

International Trade committee  Yes, absolutely.

International Trade committee  We have a huge investment program on the way that's been supported very strongly by the government, and in fact has had previous support from Liberal governments as well.

International Trade committee  Yes, it's the Pacific gateway strategy. It's been extremely successful. Under the current government, there's been $750 million invested in connecting corridors alone. That in turn has resulted in or stimulated more private sector investment, probably to the tune of more than $1

International Trade committee  We would expect to.
