We've had several witnesses come to committee, and they've talked a lot about penalties. We know that farmers are being hit hard. Internationally too with our trading partners, we've gotten a black eye because we haven't been able to fulfill some agreements.
I have a son, and we have rules. He has chores to do, and when he doesn't do his chores, I'm doing the dishwasher, I'm making his bed, there are consequences. I know you're not going to want to talk too much about penalties, but that has been brought up a lot by almost everybody we've spoken to. I wonder if you could comment on the Fair Rail Freight Service Act, and maybe penalties and giving more teeth to that act.
We've had a lot of witnesses offer amendments, because it is a bill that was put through the House, and I know that our party had submitted quite a few amendments to it that weren't accepted—that's nothing new. But I wonder if you can comment on the Fair Rail Freight Service Act and also maybe just the fact that we've had witnesses talk about penalties for grain being delivered later than it was supposed to be.
