Just in closing on the fertilizer point, what we see is a huge demand for this fertilizer around the world, and as Canadian producers, we're going to be competing to keep those products here in Canada. What can the committee do? What can the government do? I think if there's anything that could be done to stimulate the production, if there are new mines that people are looking at, if there are incentives that could be put in place for more production.... I don't think we're going to have a situation in which we're going to try to limit the exports of fertilizer. I don't think the Government of Canada is going to go to the companies and say they can no longer sell to China. If we can't decrease the demand for fertilizer, then we're going to have to increase the supply. That would be what we would see coming down the road.
The other piece we would briefly like to touch on is grain transportation. We've done a lot of work on this file with the Grain Growers of Canada. We would like to thank all members of this committee for the work they've done in getting Bill C-8 through the House quickly. As you know, when Bill C-8 gets through the Senate, one component of it is the promise that there will be a level-of-service review of the railways 30 days following. Grain transportation is one of the larger costs that we also have in western Canada for all of the export commodities. So we want to see things going forward like the level-of-service review. We would be quite interested in seeing a costing review also of the railways, and anything that could be done to enhance competition on those rail lines would be well received by the producers. Again, with supply and demand, if there are only two suppliers, then you pay the price. So whatever can be done to increase competition of the railways and increase the supply of fertilizer would be steps in the right direction for this committee.
Thank you.
