Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Minister Alghabra, for being here with us today.
Minister, multimodal trade corridors are an important part of our supply chains. I am the member of Parliament for Niagara Centre. Can the minister comment on the importance of the Niagara region—a Great Lakes, multimodal trade corridor region that has the Welland Canal running right through the middle of it—and how it is an integral part to strengthening our nation's international trade performance?
