We'll call this meeting to order.
Good morning, gentlemen. It's great to have you here today with us.
We have, from the Canadian National Railway Company, Peter Marshall, who is the senior vice-president of the western region, and Paul Miller, who is the vice-president of transportation services; from the Thunder Bay Port Authority, Tim Heney, who is the chief executive officer; and from the Western Grain Elevator Association, Wade Sobkowich, the executive director, and Robert Meijer, the director of public affairs. Welcome, gentlemen.
We have two hours slated this morning to talk about rail transportation, what's good, what's not, what's working, what isn't, and how do we fix it. We have two hours to come up with the blueprint to the future. That said, we'll have presentations of 10 minutes or so from each of the panel members and then move on to questions and a comment and answer period.
Starting off will be Peter Marshall, the senior vice-president of CN's western region. Mr. Marshall, please.
