The old agriculture committees also considered the hopper car issue. But every time we come back to this subject and talk about maintenance costs, we step into a mine field.

Mr. Mongeau, you said that it might be a temporary problem. In 1992, we did an enormous amount of transportation. However, you seem to limit the $4,329 to 1992. I thought the figures that had been given were more of an average.
Are you making a commitment to assist the Auditor General shed some light on this issue and to provide her with all the relevant documents so that, at some point, we can move on to something else?
