Mr. Speaker, as a result of an error in the transmission of information from the House yesterday, I now believe there is unanimous consent among the parties to record my vote, and I will be voting no.

Here's my question: Is there good collaboration between large ports and small and medium-sized ones? I'm hearing that there are two categories. As a member of this committee, that's not music to my ears. What I like is collaboration and information sharing. Mr. Rivest and Mr. Uberoi, I'd like your comments on this too. Mr. Gooch, I'd like to know how you collaborate in the area of sharing best [more]

Mr. Uberoi, given the current global economic context, we're stimulating the Canadian economy with Canadian products. If you had one recommendation for the committee that would enable us to give you the tools you need, what would it be? Our government wants to be better so it can do even better in the Canadian economy. We want to become less dependent on certain countries, such as our [more]

In your recommendations, you propose that the federal government establish a procedure whereby the provinces would pay a fee to the federal government. I don't see how the system could be changed to act on your recommendations. Laws and regulations would need to be put in place to ensure that companies take responsibility and do not award individual contracts to truckers working under the Driver [more]

I will ask my questions in French, if you don't mind, Mr. Ettinger and Mr. Verleysen. Mr. Verleysen, I am truly sorry that you lost a member of your family. We're all committed to improving the system. We heard your testimony, which covered several topics and recommendations. You spoke about increasing security measures, cameras, amending licensing laws and regulations and so on. We are ready; [more]

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the witnesses for being here. I will ask my questions in French. Mr. Gooch, in 2023, the committee produced a report entitled “Addressing Port Infrastructure Expansion in Canada”. One of the recommendations was that the government should help facilitate greater data sharing. We've talked a lot about small, medium-sized and large ports. Large ports are using best [more]

Thank you, Mr. Verleysen. I join the entire team in offering our condolences following the loss of this family member. Mr. Ettinger, since time is running out very quickly, I would ask you to be brief. You have been clear, you've said repeatedly that Canada Post does not engage any contractors under the Driver Inc. model. We went out and met with companies on the ground, and they told us they [more]

Or Air Transat; yes, of course. Mr. Rivest, I'd like your perspective on large ports sharing information and best practices with small and medium-sized ports.

Mr. Speaker, I am a former welder and pipefitter. Today is World Plumbing Day. It is celebrated every year on March 11 and it serves as a reminder of how important the plumbing sector is for the health, safety and well-being of all our communities across the country. World Plumbing Day gives us the opportunity to recognize the outstanding work of Canada's plumbing professionals, whose expertise [more]

Indeed, point (b) does not fit. I would like point (b) to be changed to “the study be given absolute priority over other matters before the committee”. That’s how we want point (b) to be drafted. It fits in with what Mr. Barsalou‑Duval stated. The rest is fine.

Mr. Chair, we can use Mr. Barsalou‑Duval’s wording for our record because he can’t amend his own motion. I will therefore quote his wording. I hope the clerk has noted down Mr. Barsalou‑Duval’s addition, because I agree with that.
