Kent MacDonald Liberal
“Our government is committed to expanding ports in Churchill and Vancouver. This will help farmers ship their grain to market during the fall harvest. We need approval processes that let these port projects move forward.”
“Mr. Speaker, the member would be fully aware that this government is committed to port development, whether it is in Churchill, Manitoba, or in Vancouver. There is a large expansion being discussed. That would alleviate a lot of the struggles with the export of grain, particularly in the fall. We speak to ranchers in western Canada, and obviously it is the same everywhere. We all harvest in a certain window and that product all has to go to market, so we are going in the right direction in terms of port development. We need the processes to allow these expansions to happen.”
