The next issue I have to get to, Mr. Minister, is the Interlake region. I want to deal with costing review first. We know that Transport Canada is basically looking after the railway companies very well. They did the service review and are basically letting the railways off the hook on that.
We know for a fact that based on the study by the Canadian Wheat Board, the railways had excess profits of $123 million in 2007-08, and $275 million in 2008-09. Yet the government, backed up by these guys over here, failed to initiate a costing review.
Is anybody fighting for farmers around that table or is it just all to the benefit of the railways and others?
