Mr. Speaker, the hon. member gives another great example of what has gone completely wrong with this country's rail system.
Here today we are talking about business capacity and services for business. He has raised a whole other question, which is the lack of capacity for passenger rail service. In B.C. as well, many of those services have been cut off. This bill does not really address that, but I know the NDP will pursue that issue.
