Wade Sobkowich Executive Director, Western Grain Elevator Association

Thank you very much for inviting the WGEA's views on grain transportation.

The WGEA is an association of eight farmer-owned public and private grain-handling companies operating in Canada that collectively handle in excess of 90% of western Canada's bulk grain exports. Our members account for about 20% of rail revenues and over $1 billion in total rail freight bills.

Mr. Meijer.
