Transport committee  Looking on the map, it looks like it's a terrific piece of property, if you will, to pursue development. Is your hurdle with the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation or with Transport Canada in getting some economic development opportunities?

Transport committee  I have a follow-up question for Mr. Ruhl. You gave the answer during my colleague Mr. Aubin's first round of questioning that we need to keep the Welland Canal open longer. Forgive me for not knowing all the reasons, but is the main reason icebreakers or are there other reasons

Transport committee  Who closes it, then?

Transport committee  Perfect. Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, everybody, for being here. It's a shame, Mr. Burrows, that we're always in Ottawa, but you're here today, so it's good to see you travelling along with the committee. We'll start with you, Mr. Burrows. This is a stat that I've now h

Could you expand on what you're looking for from the

Transport committee  Let's focus on financial for a second. What specifically in terms of infrastructure would you be looking for?

Transport committee  Thank you for being here, everybody. I'll start with you, Mr. Burgess. We have a study here before us on large container ships on the west coast. One of the lines in that says, “The challenge to major hub ports like Vancouver is no less than 'adapt or die' since shipping lines

Transport committee  I had a follow-up on the Juan de Fuca Strait, but I'll wait until Wednesday for that one as well. To you, Mr. Given—I guess, collectively, I get to refer to both of you—within your union, can you highlight some of the interprovincial challenges you would face in going from Atlan

Transport committee  Great. Those are my questions.
