Transport committee  We are at around 70,000.

Transport committee  They do have a new process that they are putting in place that basically fast-tracks a lot of these complaints. We've seen a lot of progress over the past few months.

Transport committee  There have been more complaints, but the time it takes has actually gone down by quite a bit.

Transport committee  It has been done, and there's no threat.

Transport committee  I think it will set the groundwork to allow certain ports to increase their borrowing limits in a much easier way. I think that's one. Combined with that, the NTCF, or the national trade corridors fund, has provided quite a lot of funding to the port project. I believe it's $745

Transport committee  I'll just walk you a little bit through the actual process of how that would take place. The minister would appoint the chair from the group of directors of the port. He would not parachute in a chair from somewhere else. It would be someone who is a director within that port, an

Transport committee  There are a couple of things on how it promotes private sector investment. In the first instance, what we are trying to do in Bill C-33 is promote the right type of private sector investment. There is a proposal in there to reduce the current threshold for review from $93 milli

Transport committee  Those are regulatory-making powers and, during the regulatory phase, there will be a reassessment of the regulatory impact. It's done through the regulatory impact assessment stage.

Transport committee  I'm sorry; can you repeat your question?

Transport committee  Just to pick up on what she's saying, there could be openness to looking at how many committees these small ports may end up having or the number of members. What I will say, as well, is that a lot of those amendments are meant to address the issue of transparency across all CPAs

Transport committee  We can definitely take it back and see if we can provide further clarification to make sure labour action is excluded. I can tell you it's not the spirit and it's not the intent. We can definitely clarify.

Transport committee  It is a multipronged approach. There's the minister, the PCO and the PMO. There are a whole bunch of actors. I can tell you that we have gotten together and we are all on board in lowering the 50%—or whatever that number was—to something much more manageable. We're all in and d

Transport committee  I'll mention a few things in the bill that benefit the supply chain, and then I'll talk about the advisory committees. One key element of Bill C-33 is around data. There are two parts to it. One part is data for operational efficiency, so, for the first time, ports will now hav
