If you're going to build a port or if you're going to privatize airports, those remain pretty good investments for a sovereign wealth fund or foreign pension fund.
Why?
Because over 25 or 50 years, those investments are going to spin off user fees and revenue for that entire period, a half century.
So those are going to remain pretty good investments and people who are coming to the investment summit are interested in those kinds of things.
We haven't announced for sure that we're privatizing airports, but there's a strong suspicion we're going that way.
Ports we're rebuilding.
So, yes.
And I think that's one of the reasons why you see some,
really interesting merchandise trade figures.
And I know, Peter, you spend a lot of nights up worrying about the merchandise trade.
That's it.
But no, but what it tells us...
No, there's been a 56% increase in our exports to countries other than the United States year over year.
That's pretty good.
When I was talking about some fairly impressive diversification going on beneath the surface, that's an indication of it.
An 11% drop in our exports to the United States.
Some of that I'm sure is due to tariffs, but we are beginning to look beyond the United States out of necessity.
Now, where the investment summit might run into some trouble is if you are interested in trying to get people to invest in setting up any kind of manufacturing in Canada, well, that's always contingent on having access to the most lucrative market in the world, which is accessible by truck and rail in Canada right over land.
And that access is a question of conjecture right now.
We don't know what our arrangement is going to be.
