I would add to the record that we're concerned that the COMPAS report in 2006, which isn't that far back, noted that this was an important consideration and that inward inspection ought to be there. In places such as Churchill, where you don't have the same kind of company commitment...as you know very well, since the loss of the Wheat Board, it's a very tenuous time for the port of Churchill. With people who have been involved in any kind of inspection, the chances of keeping them there if they don't have the kinds of jobs that the Grain Commission provided...it means they won't be there. With the companies lacking a commitment to Churchill, it poses some real problems going forward for the kind of traffic and incentives that ought to be there for our one and only arctic port—not just for the community of Churchill, but for the province of Manitoba.
