Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  Thank you, MP Masse. You're quite correct, Mr. Masse, in that the effects to my community, Sarnia-Lambton, would be profound. We've heard so eloquently from vice-president Mancinelli and my colleague Mr. Strickland that you'd see an additional 2,000 trucks per day on the roads.

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  Absolutely. Thank you for that question, MP Masse. As you know, with just-in-time delivery being so crucial to the automotive industry, to further clog our routes with trucks, with the number of trucks that we already have travelling those routes, would have a significantly detrimental effect on a number of industries—not just the automotive industry, but especially the automotive industry, where we rely on just-in-time parts delivery on a daily basis.

Economic Relationship between Canada and the United States committee  Yes. The irony that is not lost on me, on the border congestion that would be created with this, is that the majority of those trucks.... In non-pandemic times, there were already trucks lined miles back on both the I-69 and I-94 into Michigan. Those trucks already exist on a normal day.
