Just to shoehorn in at the end. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the minister for appearing here today, and thank you to the minister for taking the initiative to talk about Windsor as a critical border gateway as part of the central Canadian trade corridor.
We often talk about the Ambassador Bridge and the million dollars per minute in two-way trade. I think what is seldom talked about is the amount of economic activity that passes under the Ambassador Bridge along the Detroit River connecting the upper Great Lakes and the lower Great Lakes.
Short sea shipping is seen by many in the community as a real possibility for future growth for a smaller port like the port of Windsor. How does Bill C-23 help smaller ports? I think we've heard a lot from the bigger ports testifying before us here, in particular with respect to the new borrowing limits and things like that. But how is Bill C-23 going to help a smaller port like Windsor become more competitive, capitalize on its opportunities, and become a larger port?
