You're doing a fine job.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2396383\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ministers, thank you for appearing\u2014officials as well.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2396384\" data-originallang=\"en\">Minister Strahl, you made some mention, of course, of work on the Ontario-Quebec gateway initiative. I can think of no singular infrastructure project more critical in that gateway than the Detroit River international crossing project. For the benefit of the committee, and as well for Canadians who are looking in, can you explain some of the measures being undertaken to maintain the government's momentum behind that project, any update with respect to our engagement with our American partners?</p>",

Je pense qu'il n'y a aucun autre projet d'infrastructure plus essentiel dans cette porte continentale que le passage international de la rivi\u00e8re D\u00e9troit. Pour la gouverne du comit\u00e9 et des Canadiens, pouvez-vous expliquer certaines des mesures qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 entreprises pour maintenir la lanc\u00e9e du gouvernement dans ce projet, y a-t-il du nouveau relativement \u00e0 notre engagement avec nos partenaires am\u00e9ricains?</p>"
