Mr. Speaker, the west coast is home to the country's two largest ports, in Vancouver and Prince Rupert, which are crucial to keeping our economy strong, and reducing congestion at our ports is central to ensuring our supply chains remain resilient. Could the Minister of Transport please inform the House what our government is doing to strengthen our supply chains?

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his advocacy. Ports are important to keeping our supply chain moving, and I am happy to share with the House that yesterday I announced a nearly $75-million investment to increase capacity and reduce congestion at the port of Prince Rupert. Also, this morning, we tabled a new bill entitled “strengthening the port system and railway safety in Canada act”. This bill would create a stronger, more competitive supply chain. Our government is taking action to ease pressure on our supply chain, which is great news for Canadians and Canadian businesses.
