“Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary secretary and I have adjoining ridings, so of course we have a lot of overlapping interests. At the end of his speech, the parliamentary secretary touched on ports a little bit. The port of Halifax is one of the major ports in our country, with direct access to the U.S. northeast, Europe and the rest of the world. I wonder if the member could elaborate a bit more on how the bill would aid our ports, not just in Halifax but across the country, to make sure we get our goods to market all around the world.”

Mr. Speaker, Aside · 22 wordsmy colleague and I have the opportunity to work together, and I know we share an interest in the port of Halifax.AsideClaims · 76 wordsIf Parliament is to bring this forward, the bill itself would allow for additional governance for the port of Halifax or other ports across the country, 1which would centre around regulatory decisions, trade corridors and the ability to work together on how best we get to the outcomes around both importation and exportation of products across the country.This is what the ports were calling for.This would give additional flexibility for governance in that area.
