I agree, especially when existing ports like Saint John and Sydney are badly in need of wharf upgrades. Instead of building whole new shipping centres, we should be strengthening the ones we already have, and which already have all the proper customs & navigation infrastructure in place. Three hundred million could go a long, long way toward modernizing all of these existing maritime ports.
