There are a number of modernization thrusts. The most significant one is the removal of the single desk. The minister also mentioned Bill C-52, the government's response to the rail freight review. This will provide producers with access to service level agreements, which has been a demand for some time.
With respect to Churchill in particular, what we've done is to establish an incentive program to encourage shippers to use the rail line up to Churchill and to use the port over the course of that four to five-month period when the port is open. This year, that program managed to incent about 412,000 tonnes of grain, including grains other than wheat. In the past, it was simply wheat. It also encourages several other companies to actively look at the rail line and the port as a shipping opportunity, and it attracted two new companies to actually use the incentive.
We expect that this will continue. There is more understanding of how the program works. There's also more understanding of how to market wheat using various ports as export opportunities. We think this year we'll see a very successful year for the Hudson's Bay rail line and the port of Churchill.
