Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for appearing this afternoon.
It is my understanding that the Halifax gateway is an integral component of Canada's Atlantic gateway.
I was going through your October 31 press release, where it says you had plans to go to Europe, and you told us you have been there. It seems that the delegation was among the first to capitalize on the agreement by collaboratively promoting opportunities within the Atlantic gateway.
That press release stated:
“The collaboration of our Gateway members offers European companies seamless and unified access to all modes of transportation and logistics services.”
It appears to me that you have acted swiftly to begin ensuring that the gateway is prepared for the increased business you expect to see. In terms of transportation and logistics, what concrete steps have you taken to increase capacity? Also, what infrastructure have you begun investing in as a result of the agreement in principle between Canada and the European Union?
