As the port has adapted to some of these modern operating methods, like 24-hour rail loading and things like that, the Grain Commission in Thunder Bay has been rather slow to adapt to those kinds of working conditions. On occasion, they've refused to put on midnight shifts. They've charged overtime for four o'clock to twelve o'clock shifts. Anything out of the ordinary seems to either cost people more money or prevent them from modifying their work practices. From that aspect, they have to change the way they man their operation or how flexible they are in terms of their working conditions, in order to adapt to the modern realities. I think they've been slow to do that.
