In fact. the President of the International Bridge Company has testified that that could result in backups. delays. and I am talking about people that work on both sides of the river. both sides. it would back up traffic perhaps halfway to Flint. Michigan. 40 or 50 miles. and on the Canadian side even further. In particular. this system would cripple the automotive industry and the local economy which. as Members. know depends upon just in time deliveries. What I would like to do. if I could. I wanted to enter into a colloquy with the gentleman to make a determination. and I think the way the bill reads right now is that border crossings will not be substantially impeded. We have a great deal at risk here. I wanted to get the gentlemans assurance that that would be the case.
